Genuine question.

I know they were the scrappy startup doing different cool things. But, what are the most major innovative things that they introduced, improved or just implemented that either revolutionized, improved or spurred change?

I am aware of the possibility of both fanboys and haters just duking it out below. But there’s always that one guy who has a fkn well-formatted paragraph of gold. I await that guy.

    I have a weird obsession with the cube. It’s such a cool looking computer even by today’s standards. If they didn’t cost a ridiculous amount of money on EBay, I’d buy one just to put on display

      The Cube, along with the G4 iMac are two of the most beautifully designed computers I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen a couple of videos of people retrofitting the guts of an M1 mini into both of those, which is a ridiculously tempting project that I’ll never actually get around to doing.

        That’s something I’d love to try too! My main desktop is actually kind of similar. I bought a gutted Power Mac G5 case and stuck regular PC parts inside. It was a lot easier of a project though since it’s such a big case haha
