    can we all chip in to get one ?

    i believe it would cost about 30 million to buy and about 10 million per year for electricity (from what i have read) but can we all chip in and get one ? lol

    Not that big a deal, if we can get a total of 100 members, its 400k $ a person for the first year. if we dress this up nicely we might even get some government backing because we're being a good samaritan (d2ol, etc). Then we just need to go and collect money on the street because we're in desperate need of cash and sympathy then

    the cell processors could run Dnet or folding and the amd's could do everything else ;)

    That is Beerknurd's window's in the upper right hand corner of the picture above. He is online at the moment so we can't see his ape like outfit and the frisky tongue action! Darn...

    Wave Hi everyone !





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    …Pursuit is always hard, capturing is really not the focus, it’s the hunt ...

    I thought about starting a "swear jar" but we are mostly polite at our house so the machine would be very obsolete by the time I could make a meaningful contribution.

    Maybe someone else can help?
    Is there an "Ozzy Osborn" in the house?
    (My apologies to Ozzy - he is an international treasure)
    Perhaps, someone else can help?
