Just think if the U.S. Mint decides to stamp George W. Bush's noggin on the penny or nickel.
Wouldn't that in effect devalue the monetary value of the coin to be less than $0.00? Maybe this would be the first "real world" application of the newly-coined (no pun intended) number "nullity"?!?
I'm even more interested in the just announced DARPA project entitled "DARPA 2006 Grand Theft Auto".
The plan is to set up a course in downtown Detriot or Cleveland and challenge entrants in two categories: the total number of convenience store robberies and the average take per robbery.
They have yet to decide if the automated cars can use weapons of force in this competition.
Given that you have those "sluggish" P4's, may I suggest you setup a single-player game of Pac-Man? It only takes up 24K on your hard disk, will use about 0.001% of your CPU and will load faster than Websphere Studio Application Developer v5.0 would on a 266Mz machine running OS/2.
You and your office mates will scream with excitement when you hear the noises of your Pac-Man guy dying, eating ghosts and especially during those elaborate interludes that occur after every three screens or so.
Also, I'd recommend you invest in a complete computer surround sound system, perhaps Bose 8.1, to take advantage of the digital mixing and dispersement abilities that are beloved Pac-Man arcade game did back in the early 80's at the Shopping Mall.
