I agree 10000%! That's why I got a used ThinkCentre to run Arca on. Spent
right around $100 to get it & upgrade it. 

I had an Amiga 500 back in the day & wished I'd kept that & got rid of the
ex-wife...rather than both of them. Jumping ahead to today...am amazed at the
cost of the original machines. Even getting the new PowerPC MB to run Amiga
on is just as much or more than the original 68K machines.
