I had one, and it was one of the greatest (if not the greatest) Mac I ever owned. So I don't know what you are complaining about so much. The only downside was that the graphics card felt outdated rather soon, but that's an issue you have with all Macs up today.

He wasn’t complaining, he was captioning. Those were the words that came out of the mouth of the owner of that particular Cube when he came home to see the state of devastation it was in.

Haha. There's a Cube in our QA lab gathering dust. It gets pulled out if they think they need to see how the software will run on old Macs.

You're supposed to do that trick with a dinner table, not your computer desk.

Guess they didn't count a guy with that kind of temper.

I have an Apple Studio Display like the one in the picture. Came out one morning and my kittens had knocked it over face down from a riser on my desk. Turned it on and it was all ****ed up, thought I'd need a new monitor.

On a hunch, I degaussed it and it was gooder than new. So remember kids...when all else fails, degauss.

Seemingly innocent chairs around the nation have launched what some say is the largest attack of its kind.
Believed to be co-conspirators in aiding the chairs are various species of indoor foliage.
Here the two are pictured together - confirming people's worst fears.
A motive has yet to be discovered, and law enforcement officials are requesting that witnesses please come forward.

- mummy, the glass is broken…
- do you mean the display, Junior?, don't worry we are gonna buy you an awesome Apple LCD…
- mummy, actually it was the glass, the whole glass…

Ironic, had it was an Apple LCD instead of the CRT and it would be pretty much fu**ed…  :-/
