I doubt whether anyone would use this configuration:
- Old, slow processor
- only one processor (although that is not a problem for some)
- Small amount of memory.

Unfortunately I'm not participating (could not arrange it at home), but would
certainly have carried my own, more than 1 year old, box.

Monitor, drinks and snacks are nice of course! :-)
