Christian, I could _lend_ a slightly lower-spec machine (400 MHz Celeron 
w/320MB RAM), if you can arrange pickup and redelivery from/to Menlo Park.
I wish you luck on getting for free a unit with >1GHz CPU and 512MB RAM:
A quick check on eBay suggests such machines now tend to run around $500
used, so it would probably have to be someone who either has money to
burn or really, really likes you.  ;->
