Welcome our new bulging fore-headed overlords! Oh, you meant the other kind of memory...

Oh no, this abuse. Arguments are down the hall.
My current one is a 150Mhz. I will be upgrading in a few months though. I'm thinking of a refurbished laptop for low power.
And because you can't put a website in the bottom of the parrot cage. Well, maybe MSN.
