Burning a piece of history

The current fashionable rumour is that the new versions of the iPod nano will be in a magnesium case . This would be so Steve – the NeXT Cube was in a magnesium case. One day, just after NeXT stopped making hardware, Simson Garfinkel, an old NeXT acolyte, set a NeXT Cube alight . Poor thing. I had a couple of NeXT Stations (pizza-box style) but could never get them to boot, and moved out of the country before I could do anything with them. I still want a Cube. With a Dimension board. That would so totally rock my geeky world.
