I was just going by what people seemed to be _asking_ for P4 1GHz /
512KB boxes on eBay -- and don't have relevant experience with current
pricing levels, myself -- so I guess they're optimists.  No huge
surprise, there!

Anyway, it's good to hear that the problem has been reduced to finding
someone who likes Christian to the tune of only $300 -- though I'm still
slightly unclear on why a box for a one-time demo cannot be borrowed,
rather than received as a donation.
