Yep. 2 years' worth, assuming no other income or expenses.

...which is still better than the current leo (etc) box.

But we might want to spend a couple of moments thinking whether we're  
ever going to implement the leo/weo login and content integration that  
people have been mentioning on and off for about 3 years now.

Alternatively theres:

If we did do something like that, there may be cause to have leo and  
weo on the same box, and therefore require a bigger one. This means  
either getting a bigger one now (=more cash spent now, before it's  
needed) or migrating again later (=more sysadmin hassle).

Cheers
