fuel economy

mpgbuddy.com describes a 1986 chevy sprint that is about 8th on their list of most fuel economical vehicles. Pending your acceptance of picking your toes out of your teeth if you get in a wreck, that might actually be a good investment - considering the cost of the car and the fuel for a year is usually what i pay a year for fuel alone in the subaru. Run it 2 years and also save the equivilent of what needs to be paid for the emessions and liscencing and your ahead of the game.

thin client

linux terminal server project gives you the opportunity to recycle something as old and archaic as a P75 with 16 meg of ram and 4 meg video card to boot over lan and interface to modern OS's. sounds perfect for the 16 meg P100 laptop I have in the closet.

pricing

Soup

8oz bowl.......$1.00

12oz bowl........$1.65
