Being a person who tends to lag quite a ways bebind "current" in terms of
hardware (I was still using CP/M when most folks I knew were using DOS!) I'm
wondering where you would draw the line with regard to that. Or what would
you call "older" hardware?

I'm typing this on a Celeron 366, w/320M. The mailboxes live on a K6-200
w/64M (bet this would fall in that category, eh? :-). I have some other
boards here, one with a P-II/450, one with a slower part (233?), several
socket 7 boards, which I can probably kick up to 500 MHz if I wanted to,
ram is the problem with a lot of those as they won't cache more than 64M.

Anything you could clarify in terms of which of these might be appropriate for
which tasks would be appreciated.
