Now, I'd *really* like to have this sitting here at home.  I have played
with an Origin 2000 before at a place I did some contract work for, and
enjoyed it somewhat.  It was not this grunty, but it was quick enough.

Sure, I'd have to get an electrician in to rewire the house, but it'd be
cool to have!  I could also sell my heater as I'd be rather unlikely to
need it again.
