on studying basic and old but still very useful utilities such as sed,

You will need to study in detail work that has already been done.
I doubt that you will find many good books on reverse engineering, but
you ought to be able to find the people who could but haven't written

I don't know if I am buying into a troll or a flamebait, but what the heck?...
How
Put that money aside, and use whatever crappy computer you have. Most
people don't need the fastest whiz bang computers.
I typically only buy computers when I *absolutely* have to. My main
laptop is a 4 year old box, and other than the new mb/ram I just
bought, all my other stuff is at least 6-8
use.
What do you think?

1. It's not a race.
2. You don't get to say things and then demand that James prove you
wrong. That's bass-ackwards.

The only one who can prove that my assumptions are BS would be James.
The pressure is on, maybe you want to help him with better pointers than
mine instead of just calling bs.

As someone who went from "knowing a small amount of C " to hacking the
kernel, i call bullshit on your assumptions here.

With every single laptop I've bought/been given over the years, I
was able to run OpenBSD on them almost flawlessly save a few
quick/simple hacks to make anything that didn't work, work.
The one main issue I've had with ALL of them was the wireless
card...maybe I was just unlucky to have gotten on
