Confirmation--The G4 Cube Ships!

Other web sites have posted reader claims that the Cube is shipping this week. However, yesterday morning the Apple Store sent me an email saying that my stock 450 MHz Cube had shipped August 9th. Sure enough, the order status page showed it had shipped but FedEx's tracking page had no record of it yet. If it's like the LCD, this means that the Cube didn't really ship until the night of the 10th and will arrive on Monday. Look for a Hands-On First Report Monday night for Macs Only!'s Tuesday edition. From Dana Baggett,

"But if they forget such mundane matters as money for a few brief seconds and feast their eyes on the tantalizing Cube, they may well sense a mystical magic at work - a magic that a poet once expressed far more elegantly when he said: "A Thing of Beauty is a joy forever.'' [The Hindu]
