[vos-d] "Donate to Interreality"

[S Mattison]

Ouch!

You know, I used to run my own webserver off of my 800mhz Windows98 laptop,
over dialup? A simple DSL connection would cost maybe 25$ a month, and
leaving your machine on overnight all month; negligible price. The cost of
the server software? Absolutely free. Of course, the domain name costs you,
what, 5$ yearly?

Overall, in my opinion, it would save you over 800$ if you ran your own
server, as compared to what it's costing now. (Interreality isn't on a T-1
line, is it? Because that's about how much a fiber-optic line in your home
would cost...)
