  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. :-)
