This is just wrong. I don't want to depend on your service. Statements
like yours make the world upset against those who do it 'real'. I am afraid
that dilettantic attempts to provide services on cheap PCs will pollute the
literature and endanger serious providers because the attempt to say that
you can provide the same quality of service for $4K wheresas I claim to use
much more than that is generally appreciated by the funding agencies but
neither true nore does it help people getting misleading reults.
