...and then transfer to a local.  This is on the Odakyu line, BTW.

well, it should work even with 16 megs.. since we won't be running X.
But, of course, more ram is better.

As for the sushi, the bentos range:

500 yen = negi-toro don - negi-toro, ika, gohan, ikura, and some other
stuff.

that one's my favorite.  There's others for 600 (ie, tekka maki, about
12-15 pcs), 650, 800, 1000, and 1600.  It all depends on what you get.
There's some small ones that are less than 500 too.
