I understand from your earlier articles that you live in the San
Francisco Bay area.  In that case, you have little excuse for not
having better hardware.  You can easily follow the craigslist
"free" section and follow up on the free computers there.  Within
a few days or weeks you'd be sure to get one better than the
machine you say you're stuck with now.
