This is the basis year for determining the parent's contribution
for my oldest son's college expenses, so expensive is more attractive than
it usually is. (I hope my son isn't reading this.) I've been thinking
about a fast car, but can't figure out how to write it off as
a business expense. A fast graphics card is easy. :-)

That GF2/Quadro professional OpenGL card goes for
about $670. It's not chump change, but I think I could
be happy with something like that for a month or so.

Cheers,

David
