Yikes! That's almost as much for my mortgage, you must live on the West coast. Here in Central MASS, $1700 will get you a nice house.

Southern Indiana $1700 will get you two nice homes. I remember flipping out when my company sent me to the Sun labs in Menlo Park and one of the techs was telling me about housing prices. Yikes!

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Hey HAL, I just remembered that there is one site that has an excellent shipset designed just in your honor.
Visit http://www.geocities.com/kuatdy/ and check it out yourself. They have also lots of Star Wars and other shipsets too.

Many thanks! The picture of my optic is great. You realize, of course, that the movie was biased against me? It really didn't do my side of the story justice. It didn't show all Dave's bad side at all.

KiloOhm-
Must be nice. My Boston apartment is around 1200 a month. I'm on the red line out towards Medford. It's a nice neighborhood, but it ain't that great. My columbus ohio apartment, at about 50 sq ft smaller than my boston, is a paltry 625 by comparison...

2 cents...

"location, location, location"

My 2 story, 1800 sq home on 5 acres is $460 monthly (including property taxes.) And no it is not a dump, in fact has hardwood floors, walk in closets, etc. You just have to love the upper midwest. Of course -30 degrees could cause some people problems.

Here in Dayton, Ohio that $1700.00 a month will get you a nice house AND a good looking woman to keep you warm so you don't have such an outrageous heat bill. But on the down side it's a 14 hour drive to the nearest ocean, so I'm not sure it's such a great deal after all. We like to say it's a great place to live, but you wouldn't want to visit there.
