Is there a way to run this on a solid state platform that is low power? The thing that people forget about older computers is that they suck a lot of electrical power, especially in relation to how much computing power they deliver. If we were to come up with a watt-per-cycle index, and put some kind of price per year on it, the extra cost of a new, solid-state unit like a Soekris would probably pay for itself in a few years in electrical savings. Plus you get to feel environmentally responsible. Jim No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
