   Just because it's cheap in the States doesn't mean its cheap over here.
   In general, when you're converting US/Canadian prices to British prices,
   just replace the $ sign with a pound sign(for computer related stuff).
   This makes a bit of a difference, with pounds being worth about 2
   dollars.  This tends to work for books too, with books generally being
   around 25 - 30 quid each here.

Fortunately, HP probably just set off a heated price/performance
battle that should drive prices down.

   Anyway, even if memory/mips are cheap, that doesn't mean we actually
   have to use them all does it?

What advantage would there be in not using them?  You can't save 1/2
of your 15 mips every second and use them when you have a really big
job.
 
   They aren't. They may be for you, but not for some of us.

Give it a year or two and it will be for you too.  Just in time for
Emacs 19 :-).
