Cool.  :)

Not sure how the billing is handled, whether they are just making
the upgrade free, or if they actually charge $0.05 for each month
if you're on a yearly plan.

I would expect that come September the renewal will be at $20/mo.

Looks like we're not on the latest CPU, but still ahead of where
we used to be.  Now we just have to figure out what features to
add to monkeybot to make use of all these resources...
