[geeks] Cerf Cube

[Joshua D. Boyd]

I nominate my palm pilot for all three.  Sure, it might not be the
fastest, but a lot of damn cool stuff has been done on slower machines.
OK, I nominate it for cool and affordable.  For fast, well, I don't have
any speed demons.  Just a hand full of machines that can crunch numbers at
a steady pace without too much sweating.
