I have a Chuwi Minibook X N100, 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, and a 512GB NVMe drive. Got it for about $200, new. I asked for a Linux discount since I had no desire for Win11, and they obliged! It's not my only machine: I got it to keep in my backpack at all times and it works well for that. At 2 lbs with laptop and tablet modes, I'm pretty happy! Just wrote a bunch of heavy-ish Ruby code on it and it kept up quite well.

I thought they delayed Leopard, not Snow Leopard...

Don't many financial transactions in US dollars get stored as integers anyway? The number of pennies, in other words.

Then just convert to dollars with a decimal place when needing to display, etc.

I recall this being pretty normal regardless of what database you use.
