What's odd is the "evaluation" tag on the lable. Could be an engineering sample sent out for testing. I've chatted on IRC with a guy who works in the testing lab at Micron in Boise, ID. They get to play with all the latest computer goodies before us peons even hear about them! (Yes, even Mac stuff.) At one time he mentioned a "Super Cube", the samples of which they'd recieved had a problem with one of the RAM slots not working properly. Apparently with the dismal sales of the original Cube, Apple decided to shelve the Super Cube. Micron recieved eight engineering samples of the Cube, then bought eight more of the shipping version, which was identical to the ES version so they didn't bother to do much testing on them. ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
