<<I can see your point about the expandability, although a lot of users really don't need or want that.>> Yes, especially corporate users. We did an analysis of our ad agency machines. Creatives all on Macs and our day to day account and admin people. We had been buying the Compaq DeskPro towers for the account and admin people because we were concerned about expandability. After two years buying the high end PCs, we realized no one had ever requested anything more than memory. No one uses sound or video cards, or special ports. So we started buying the low-end Compaq Small Form Factor machines. (they look sorta like Mac IIsi). I guess the cube is Apple's entry into the small form factor office desktop. It certainly can handle the usual Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook email, Netscape and Filemaker which is what most people in our office use as standard. -Bill_H
