Ever since I bought my iBook, it's been my favorite computer ever. Well, my Apple cube arrived today and it's my new favorite. Such a beautiful design (along with the 17" Apple LCD display I bough). It has no cooling fan so it's eerie how it's completely silent.

I just gotta get Airport, bluetooth and a wireless keyboard and mouse. Then I have to decide: upgrade the 450 mhz G4 processor to a 1.7 Ghz processor, or two 1.5 Ghz processors....

Hey, people do it with add-in boards designed especially for the Cube. There are three companies that offer them. (Of course, cooling fans are required.) eg: [link]

I'm remembering the MacChimney. Looked like the Tin Man's hat. Or Tom Teriffic's.

Well, Dan, the rumours are supposed to be pretty well-founded. It would be a sensible business move, because I know plenty of people who'd own a mac if it were affordable. Like me. Or rather, I do own macs. Just not new ones.

Me too.

Sadly? Lots of them.

Exactamundo. Though I am freakishly excited about getting back to my Wall Street.

Rob or anyone else who might know,

Are there any special Apple deals to troops in Iraq? My nephew is thinking of buying a 17 inch PowerBook G4 1.5GHz on eBay, [link] and I said I would check around.
