Re: excel spreadsheet and analysis computer

Hi Peter and Fred,

It looks like a good deal to me.  I'd just make one change: please get 4 
GB memory.  Memory is cheap and it'll be doing a lot of memory-intensive 
histogramming.  If we use it as the backend, we'll probably raid mirror 
the system disk, but we can get that disk elsewhere.

Thanks,
David
