Restaurant, Residents React

DANVILLE, Ky. -- It started out with a blizzard and now a Dairy Queen in Danville is getting an avalanche of attention.
A woman who paid for her food with a fake $200 bill Sunday left with plenty of change. The bill had a picture of George W. Bush on the front and oil rigs on the back.
"That's the talk of the town," Danville resident Joseph Bourne said. "It's got to be one of those dumb blonde stories."
Added fellow resident Drew Hammond: "It's the kind of news I like to hear out of my own hometown. Usually things don't happen of great significance here. It gets a lot of attention."
The 18-year-old employee has offered to refund the store. Her manager, Mike Tracy, tried to be supportive, and said that she probably was just too busy to notice the mistake.
"We try to do things as quick as possible here," Tracy said.
At least he's being a good sport about it. The restaurant is now distributing coupons on the backs of fake $200 bills.
"We're going to play off this advertising a little bit and try to think of it as something positive," Tracy said.
Local law enforcement said that the joke became a crime when the woman took off with all that change.
"When the woman received the money and left with it, the joke ceased," Danville police officer Bob Williamson said.
Still, because there's no such thing as a $200 bill, the woman, if caught, couldn't even face federal counterfeit charges.

I didn't know Dell sold Athlon's also, i thought you need the MP's to do dual/SMP processing, not the XP's
as of July, you could get 12 Dual Athlon 2000+ cluster (along with lots of other cool bloat, gigabit networking,rackmount, nice clustering s/w package etc) from microway for $47K.. so..if you had a run time of 676 days, you would need a $90million cluster...
