[Novalug] laptop ram

[John Franklin]

I've been building a spreadsheet of my gas purchases with how far I've driven on them.  For the petrol alone, it's about 15¢/mile.  (I average just over 24MPG and buy the high-grade from Costco.)  From here to Microcenter and back costs me about $6.30.  Add in tires and other maintenance, and it's over $7.00.  To me, that's the Microcenter "shipping charge."
