My girlfriend got so mad at me when I mentioned the idea of picking one up. She understands why I like what I do, but she couldn't understand my interest in maintaining and toying with an older machine.
To be fair— we do live in an apartment that's a little small for us right now...

- slededit 8y agoThose were pretty expensive last I looked. It has a lot of history as a continuation of Jobs' next cube idea. But it was expensive, sold poorly, and was prone to thermal and case damage (at least some things haven't changed...).
- ovao 8y agoThey’re very sought after, yeah. Probably a combination of the design itself and heavy pop culture exposure — at one time you’d have a hard time finding a TV show or movie where a G4 Cube didn’t make a cameo.
- Crontab 8y agoI was one of the people who purchased a G4 Cube when it came out. It was a lovely computer.
- MisterTea 8y agoThink about all the extra room room you'd have for old computers if you didn't have said girlfriend. That's why I'm single and have a lot of old computers. Not sure if they're related though.
- azinman2 8y agoI think you answered your own question.

- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoI'm happily married and have a lot of old computers, games console and even an arcade machine. If you're spending the rest of your life with someone it helps to find someone with common interests. :)
