inch Cinema display. ?Man I wanted one badly. ?But wayyyy too much money. ?Definitely want
one for my collection. ?Probably not too expensive now.

My wife and I purchased the G4 cube, monitor, as well as enhanced sound package.? It?s
primary? purchase was using it as a music server and some games.? My wife was working with
Apple II e?s and very early Mac?s at the time.
Over time I had to replace a failing hard drive.
I retired it last week as I couldn?t put a modern browser on it.? The last few years I
used it for only music.
Retire means I?m packing it up to put in a dust proof container and placed in storage.
Not looking to get rid of it but will obviously will someday.
Not really vintage but it has served a long and happy life.

What do you mean by ?retired,? and what kind of setup did you have for it?
