#36 (Peter), touching the conductive power switch sent the Cube to sleep, not shutdown. Touching again woke it up. Journalists are so dumb. Good thing Peter & Ryan are bloggers! Pleased you got your free mouse(s) though.
But I guess that's part of the reason the Cube flopped, because of the bad writeups. Also I remember it was stated in reviews it HAD to be bought with an Apple Cinema Display, which at that time cost $$$.
I actually sold my Power Mac G4 in mid-2000 and bought a Cube, and had money left over... because I used my existing monitor. The Cube was actually cheaper than an equivalently spec'd G4 (and as powerful, minus the expansion slots which most people never used anyway).
I still love my Cube. It runs Tiger and is plugged into a plasma screen on which is shows a rolling "photo wall" of images. And the beautiful hovering Cube is always a talking point for visitors. The PCs I have from the same era (2000) are in the attic gathering dust. Says something, that.
