A few hundred and change.  Cheap enough that I can splurge without 
concerning myself about where my next meal will come from.  I think I 
paid something like $550.  Doesn't have a full load of RAM or anything, 
but it moves along pretty nicely.

My main desktop workstation cost me more like $6500, and I had to save 
for a good long while for that.  Actually, I'm going to need to start 
saving again.  The POWER6 is looking mighty good, and I want to be ready 
when they come down a bit in price.

Peace...  Sridhar
