And now a word from our sponsor
<shameless plug>
We have some new information on the new services coming to siteSatellite's customers in the very near future. In the last couple of weeks we have brought our electronic billing and payment system online. Customers can now manage their accounts via the web.
In the next two weeks we will be bringing web based e-mail access, instant messaging, and site maintenance services online. All these enhancements will be bundled into all levels of access for our customers.

Happy 4th of July
After spending the day in Redwood City at their annual July 4 parade and carnival we're set to blow some things up. Time to unpack those fireworks.
The death of the CUBE
Despite numerous design awards and high praise from Cube aficionados, Apple issued a cryptic press release today announcing the abandonment of further Power Mac G4 Cube production. These 8 inch by 8 inch G4 PowerMacs came in such a small, power saving, quiet (fanless) enclosure that they made great boxes for mac based web servers. Alas, bad marketing and an unrealistic price point compared to the other Macintoshes in their product line contributed to low sales and their demise.
This sucks for siteSatellite as we were just about to place an order for a few of them direct from apple...the cube is noticeably hard to find in stock on any mail order web site after today's press release. Got a used G4 cube you would be willing to part with? Let us know
