Hello Mario,
thanks for your message. It's amazing how fast computers get older. I guess in comparision with your Pentium II the computer I get to use at home could be considered fast, weren't it for that crappy OS they can't be persuaded to change. Maybe a second hard drive is sufficent. Your hint is good: Just looking in the newspaper might be the right way to get some hardware that's old enough to give away but still good enough for me.
Do you have a job coding Lisp? Was it easy to find? Do you think there a chance to get one in a few years -- short of founding a startup?
Matthias
