True, but he only described the PC as "pretty old". That's a relative
term. A socket 7 PC would be ancient - almost museum quality stuff IMHO.
So pretty old could mean an early P4? Either way, there are some old
soldiers sitting around in almost everyone's closet that have a socket A
or a slot 1 CPU. Digging one of those out would still be a possibility.

The amount of effort expended would depend on just how cheap he really
is (cheap also being a relative term). But I digress. 8o)
