Thanks Neuro,

What's left on tron, now?

weo is on github, right?

So beo, leo and, what -- dns? is still running on tron?

We talked about a little EC2 instance a while back.  I'd be happy to 
look into that again if anyone plus-one's the idea.

It's kinda silly to continue to pay $45 a month for what we have and 
what we need.

Budget-wise we have a couple of monthly donors paying that, and we've 
still been getting $100 payments from Google ads on beo once or twice a 
year now.  So we have a little nest egg building up:

PNC Bank: $340.74
PayPal: $168.89

that I think we could use to make a 3-year reserved instance payment on 
(for instance) the next-to-cheapest EC2 box, to make the monthly payment 
only like $5 for the next 3 years (and still have plenty left over).

thoughts?

thanks,

-dave
