Used computers go cheap, even if they have that much RAM. Other than
for that last component, I'd say $400-500. But sheesh, if the beach is
nice, you might need to shift the decimal point two, three, maybe even
four places.

*Any great truth can -- and eventually will -- be expressed as a cliche

my grandmother used to say, "The black cat is always the last one off
the fence." I have no idea what she meant, but at one time, it was
undoubtedly true. --
