Just started thinking about this... but now that we are basically paying 
for all the datastore reads/writes, and bandwidth separately...

Isn't paying $60 a month for a 600 MHZ instance with only 128 MB ram a 
little expensive?

Just taking a quick glance at EBAY, I can buy a > 2 GHZ machines with over 
a GB of memory all day long.
I can buy BRAND NEW Intel Atom Dual-Core D525 Processor(1.8GHz, 1MB L2 
Cache), Support Intel Hyper-Threading technology,
with 1GB memory for ~ $160 all day long

Call me crazy, but I still have my 1 GHZ pc I bought back in 1999 (12 years 
ago) sitting in the garage and I would have a problem giving it away (It 
also has a lot more memory than 128 MB ram).

A standard (small) SAME PRICEd Amazon EC2 instance comes with 1.7 GB of 
memory and even their FREE micro instance gives you 613 MB of memory.

I understand computers were a lot more expensive back in 1999, but they 
have gotten a lot cheaper over the past few years.

Please justify what I am paying for because right now I am trying to 
justify upgrading to the F2 instance class for twice the price ($120/month) 
just so I can double up and get a whopping 256MB ram!
