Just finagle the loan of an iMac/266 with 96Mb RAM as your match platform. That way, you will have: 1) A setup that, with total software & hardware (Appendix A) is under $1500 2) A setup this is currently and easily available to consumers. 3) A setup that is slightly stronger than your current configuration.
