I think it was about $700, or roughly $100 per line.
That included crawling under the house (yuck).
I know, I should have done it myself... but I had
been telling myself that for over a year, and
nothing had changed...

It's *great*!!!!! The people here are great, and the work
is interesting... I'm optimizing mail sending performance
right now... I love doing performance work, and so it's
great that I'm the designated performance guy. Well, the
CTO (Chris Maeda, another alumnus from CMU and the Mach
project) is a good performance guy also, but he has other
stuff on his plate...
