I asked this in comp.windows.misc, and was redirected to this group.

I have become infatuated with the idea of running NeWS on *something*.
Unfortunately, I can't afford much hardware. Is there any way to get a
useful NeWS implementation on a commodity computer?

	Useful: running under MS-DOS or MacOS doesn't count,
	because the underlying environment is too poor. A server
	only system doesn't count, because I need a client as
	well.

	Commodity computer: Costs less than the downpayment on
	a family car... i.e., you don't need a secured loan to
	afford one. That writes off anything from Sun, for
	example.
