You've certainly got me!  I'm sitting here at a "vintage" Macintosh,
wondering what in the H*ll I'm going to do with it now that it's *so*
out-of-date.  It certainly would be nice to have a machine that one
could put together for about $1000 that would last you more than a
few years!

I'm no expert in any of these categories, but I feel competent in the
software area.  I'm willing to give it a go as member of a team.

How about it?  Somebody else out there must want something like this
and have some [free?] time!
