Sometimes I think some of us should get together on something
like this.  Keep it running at your place, with ssh access for
the rest of us.  Ten of us at $250 could have a kick-ass system,
but I don't know if we could agree on the OS.  I'd be firmly in
the OpenVMS camp (run as a Galaxy, so we could have several
instances).
