I have spent too many days up at the "Hosstraders" Ham Fest, and with
the teachers at NHTI, who were asking (basically) about "how small and
old a box can I use", to be as confident as you are.
This reminds me of a couple choice quotes from fellow GNHLUG'ers:
"With Microsoft, customers complained that they didn't have any
choice. Then Linux came along. Now they complain that there are too
many choices. From this, we can conclude that customers just like to
complain."

Choice, for the uninformed, unknowledgable (yes, and stupid) average
consumer, is bad in a lot of ways.
Yup. Of course, lack of choice is bad in a lot of ways, too. It
appears life is hard. That wouldn't be so bad, but it also appears
that most people *do not understand that fact*. It does explain the
popularity of the lottery, though.
I bet, a hundred years ago, the player-piano-salesman probably had
to deal with customers asking if they could get it cheaper if they
didn't want the black keys, or how come they had to buy new music
rolls to get new songs, or why when they fed printed sheet music into
it it didn't work...
