G4 Cubes selling for more than recent laptops on eBay is some kind of economic bellwether.
Yeah okay he popularized the term "cyberspace," but William Gibson also had a main character that used a G4 Cube so can we really trust his foresight at all?
Just based off the price on eBay, a Next Cube might have held its value better than just about any computer ever made.
Is the NeXT mouse actually worse than the iMac mouse? You decide.
My colleague made a joke about the Next Cube and now I'm pricing them on eBay please help me

"Illium" was another name for the city of Troy
"-ad" is a suffix that can be used to mean "the story of"
Therefore "The Illiad" is properly translated as; drumroll please...
