If anything killed the G4 Cube, it was the
IT crash and not the
tiny cosmetic cracks that I'm right now staring at on the side of the sleekest, quietest computer I ever owned.
You see, this machine was only purchasable by
people with money to burn. It was more costly than their low end model, and too slow in comparison to their only-slightly-more-expensive tower computers. After all, a G4 450 can't really stand up to a newer model G4 733 (with 2MB
backside cache), which is now
Apple's lowest end tower computer.
