I think that was a very good decision, I get blazingly gast performance from
my IDE drives in my Cube, much faster than the UW SCSI disks I had before,
and if I would need them for high end video I would just ad them anyway, but
Steve gave me at least the best value for money with great speed.
I'm still not happy with the axing of the Newton after all these years, but
he did have a point doing it, though the way it was handled is probably
unforgivable, but hey, gave Dell a nice edge in the education marker,
didn't it ;-)
