So every share must be minuscule. Hardly seems worth it. Months of electricity usage for about $2.40?
I don't actually pay the electricity here, so I've made ~2.00

I stopped CPU mining.
When just starting out in Bitcoin, and waiting for hardware to arrive, CPU mining has its merits. You learn about mining, start feeling out pools and feel like you are participating. Just don't expect to make a bunch of coins with it. But, taking those first steps, CPU mining will help.
I tried to CPU mine my VAIO 
400 - 900 kHashs.
Approx 2 and a half hours per share.
I made a glorious 0.000000000 BTC after 3 shares and then stopped the experiment.

I'd ask you. 
How often, if ever, do you make a block? Seems like at current difficulty, it could take months at 10 MHashes/sec.

You'll get a share once every other hour or so
I'm getting on average 10 shares an hour.

Is anyone making anything CPU mining? I have two "rigs" running at ~10 MH/s and 1 MH/s because I'm waiting for bASIC to ship.
