[Suns-at-Home] Power usage was Sparcs for pickup in Columbus OH

Reminds me of a quote I read in a book about computer graphics :-

"A Cray is a real headache. This one had a $12,000 a month electric  
bill, and the maintenance and support bill for the "Crayons," the  
people who  attended to it and kept it working, came to like $50,000 a  
month. It's like a 747 jetliner, if it's not in the air with seats  
full you're loosing money"

Starfighter")
