This was the monthly increase in billing to more than quadruple our

This is the monthly savings we will see if we implement this proposal
and spend the $200 mentioned to reserve the t1.micro instances mentioned.

This was a hypothetical number.  It's the monthly cost of the originally
proposed infrastructure (2x t1.micro, 2x m1.small, and 1x m1.small RDS)
purchased without reservations, minus the monthly cost of the same
infrastructure purchased with monthly reservations.  It was given simply
to illustrate how much of a monthly savings is available when utilizing
the AWS Reserved Instances program.  This number has absolutely nothing
to do whatsoever with this current proposal.
