No kidding! I measured the draw and decided not to run it at home.
Neat system, was better in a colo where I didn't have to pay for power.

I rather doubt that it will be cheaper in total. You may loose less each
time you upgrade,
I believe that is still the current model. Watch what happens when it is
no longer current. Also it is a high end model which will aways seem to
hold its value a bit better than the low end jobbies, a matter of
scarcity if nothing else. But then again, anything that does what you
need it to is
Closeout prices are often less than the used price for the same item. A
way to get something new, use it for awhile, then get your money back.
Of course you will never have the latest stuff, will you?

I can only presume you mean 1Ghz. The industry passed the 1Mhz clock
rate in personal computer cpus sometime around 1982.
I've seen a general plateauing of performance for things like word
processing and spreadsheet since 1996 or so, but there is NO
comparison in the speed of processing

It still haowever takes the same quality picture it didi in 2001.

In this kind of technology, most of the value of newer products is in
the research and development. Manufacturing plays a smaller part,
especially for high-end newest toys.
Over time, competition pushes prices down while the technology becomes
mainstream. Under this pressure, the manufacturing
