Maybe - or not. A 20th Anniversary Macintosh (I'm pretty sure they'll have a problem naming it, since the TAM, although for APPLE's 20th, was called just that) would make sense. But don't forget: This will only be unveiled in 2004...

Anniversaries don't seem to be a Steve Jobs-thing. If they were to follow the scheme of the 20th Anniversary Macintosh, which was for celebrating the 20th anniversary for the first personal Computer in 1977 they should've had a 25th anniversary in 2002

I think the last 20th anniv mac as well as the g4 cube was enough of a flop to stop them from making yet another one like that.

Making a novelty item like that as expensive as they did made the average user shy away from it.

Average users already shy away from them because of the price...then again, they prolly arent looking to make any money on them...

Im just rambling, dont mind me...im also waiting for looprumors panther preview to come out....bastards!

If they waited for a special year, and made the G4's for that year/month extra special, It'd work, but then they wouldn't be that special...

i think, if they did release an updated Cube, i'd buy it .... but it'd have to keep the silence! ... thats one of the key points as 2 why i have mine ... Without it, all you have is a Squashed PowerMac, with little benefit that i can think of... Saying that, if they sold it as a Headless Mac @ a Competitive price (maybe withOUT Keyboard and Mouse too?! ... it lowers the price of the unit down, and is quite decieving, cus u still need those devices (well, most buyers would) ... So yea, if it were priced competitively, i think it could work ... it would have to fall around the price of an iMac or Below tho... and i don't think it could be as fully featured as a PowerMac @ the current time either. It really needs 2 be a way to 'get on the Mac Bandwagon' really ... Cheap access to get you started ... or something?

... i am prolly rambling too :P

A cube with a 970 inside and a few Gs of RAM inside would be hard to resist buying...

I could. I think it's kind of a dumb case design, if stylish. iMac fine, it's all-in-one. PowerMac you keep the case under the desk or next to it. But the cube it seems you would need to keep on top of the desk. Waste of space IMO.
