Re: PBW offline
Atrocities,
I am not sure how much of my experience is typical. PBW was the Admiral's baby from the start, it was his computer, and he programed the database. Lazarus setup most of the interface and web pages that you see. I have no idea how much time they put into these parts in the way of setup. I am sure if they had not been doing it on a volunteer basis it would have been quite expensive to hire someone to do the equivalent, and I am by no means capable of doing it myself.
The ongoing costs are about 90 bucks a month for the DSL line to hook the server up, and whatever power the server uses running 24/7. That I have no clue about, but I haven't noticed an appreciable differance in my monthly utility bill since I set it up.
There is also an yearly charge for the URL, but that is insignificant compared to the monthly connection fee.
