Man, the most I paid for a PC was $800.  3 times.  The first time my
parents bought it for me.  The second time I didn't realize exactly
how bad this was (and it was at least a linux machine).  The third
time, I was really excited about BeOS and Atheos and want the cheapest
SMP machine I could get.  And then, the costs of making said SMP
machine work got quickly out of control and I ended up paying twice
what I wanted to.

Anyway, that was enough for me.  BeOS is dead and Atheos isn't doing
anything, and for pretty much everything else I could use a Mac, Sun,
and SGI for.  I just haven't had a spare $800 to spare since I learned
that leason with the SMP intel machine.
