Jim,
Do you have anyone in your environment with a not too old laptop? Get it for a box of cigars, install an SSD and Linux Mint. You're back in business!

My garage lab computer went kaput recently, and I need to get another one to control my instruments via GPIB and USB. I had a tower running Windows 7, although it was originally my wife’s computer running (ick!) Windows Vista. Sooooo slow! Anyway, I don’t need anything fancy, just a PCI slot for the GPIB card, Ethernet jack for Internet connection, and at least 4 USB jacks (kbd, mouse, USB microscope, GPSDO). Mini tower or thin client would be great. Anybody have a PC they don’t need? Thanks in advance.
