Forget these Apples to Suns comparisions, I think the real question would be what are your telephone (communications) and electric bill MRC costs :-). I know someone running a Vax 780 :-). In the "my penis is bigger than your penis" department, I call your puny 780 and raise you a pair of KL-10s, a KI, and a KA. :-) When you have to upgrade your household electrical service to justify your hobby -- then you really have a reason to grunt :-). No, when you have to rent a warehouse to hold your computer collection, you do more than grunt. :-) -Jim
