I'm unclear what budget hastodo with development at RDS, given that Robert is
working on it anyways, and you are prolly spending more time at Eu programming
than
he is,, but i thought i'd toss this out, seeing that some people in weak
financial
situations might still be on the list.......
http://www.compgeeks.com/
has some alledgedly complete 486 puters with 24meg of ram for $76USD now.
Naturally they won't run Mac OS, but BeOS has been ported to the IBM clone
platform, and those puters will run *nix, i thinks. If you want a faster
motherbd, they
have 600Mhz ones for under $50, w/o cpu. By mixing/matching, you could maybe
drop
a newer motherbd into the old box and come out cheap.

Kat,
no guarantees,
i did not check these puters.
