For those Cube users with the beta version of
Mathematica:
how's the performance?
I've heard Mac II users complain that they don't have enough
memory to do useful calculations. Is this a problem on
the Cube? How about speed, and the user interface?
Thanks,

Is this a problem on >the Cube? How about speed, and the user interface? Memory is a problem in the 0.9 version, because it doesn't seem to get managed properly. Large computations tend to make Mathematica freeze up completely. The only remedy I have found is to locate the process in a Terminal window, kill it, and start over. It's no faster than the Mac II version at present. Saving a file, in particular, is interminably slow. The user interface is incomplete, but seems to be coming along ok. I'm waiting to see what 1.0 will be like. -- Dave Seaman ags@seaman.cc.purdue.edu
