I would agree with Theo. That machine is so slow it would
hinder them more
than help them.
712/60: PA-7100LC 60MHz with 1KB on-chip L11 and 64KB
off-chip L1 cache
This is useless. It's like offering a 386.

Because you offered him useless hardware and he responded as
such. I bought
a pair of similar HP's for $50 and ended up throwing them
out because they
were so painfully slow.
