NSI charges $70 when you first register (I think this is for two years,
although I could be wrong - all my domains were registered when it was free
or paid for by someone else), $35 a year after that.

Not much.  For the most part, we're I/O bound by the network.  486-66s
and ancient Suns with similar processing power make fine mailing list/ftp 
servers, firewalls, etc;
