Exactly... I sell Macintosh computers, and the cube was a hard sell.
Initially it was over priced, why buy that, when they could by a g4 tower
for less, and have pretty much the same functionality, more in some ways.
This is probably what killed it. People still didn't want it when the price
was dropped below the tower, probably when they figured it was going to die.
The biggest demand for the cube has come since it has been disco'd. I
sometimes get annoyed with people who call up, surprised that it's gone, and
wonder why. I'll tell 'em "You should have bought one when they were
available, they might not have been disco'd then!"
My parents have a cube however, and it is a wonderful machine! To bad. Jus
a note mold lines, PAH! they don't detract from the Cube, my parents has
'em, big deal, it hasn't fallen apart yet, you only notice them when looking
at it in the right light, at the right angle.

I think its biggest problem was that it wasn't selling...
