I doubt it'll ever be high enough to get that far, but I guess you
never know.

Right now we've got about $500.  That would be enough to:

1) pay for the new server i obtains, or
2) pay for the new disks linas is installing and a couple months of connectivity,
or do something else.

Or we can just keep it for now and wait and use it later.
