Thanks for all the helpful responses.

I'm not in "dire" need. I was just exploring options.
I certainly could purchase one, though Lynn David Newton has
kindly offered to give me one that he was going to discard.

There is no critical rush on this, but I am just eager to
begin downloading packages to get the new (used) computer I
just acquired all set up until I get Lynn's hub.

Thanks again to all you excellent PLUG friends.
