I think the design could work in our favor. The iMac brought Macintosh to
the masses based on looks alone. At that point people learn that the Mac
really is a great computer & OS.
I see the Cube showing up on executive desks in upper management. At first
it would be a status symbol sitting there on glass or mahogany desks. Then
after these big shots realize how powerful, useful and dependable the Mac is
it will trickle down through the ranks hopefully breaking Windoze only
mentality that plagues corporate America.
Assimilation!
