What is that?
It's a duck pond.
Why aren't there any ducks?
I don't know. There's never any ducks.
Then how do you know it's a duck pond?

There'd Better Be Money In The Baptism Business
Because I'm about to pay $1500 for a font.
Licensing professional typefaces for web use is seriously expensive. Well, seriously expensive to someone who's paying for it out of his own pocket, anyway.
What this means is that I can dynamically generate menu items and logo buttons and suchlike in the standard mu.nu font, Horatio Medium. As things stand, I have over 100,000 pre-generated images for the menu items alone, and I have to manually generate banners if I want them to use this font.
It's a nice font, though.

Slightly Smaller Scale
I've ordered a Phenom 9750 (95W) to replace my Athlon 64 X2 5200+ (89W). So for an extra 6W I go from two 2.6GHz cores to four 2.4GHz cores.
It isn't quite as much computing power as the configs below, but it is an order of magnitude cheaper.
Update: Of course, today AMD announced three new Phenom models. Strangely, none of them are obviously better for my purposes than the one I already ordered. 140W for an extra 200MHz is a bit steep, and more than my motherboard can deliver in any case. 65W for a 2GHz quad-core isn't bad, though.
