Well, it wasn't what I was planning, but it seems to have worked in my 
case.  I guess there's some value in having stuff so old that they 
thought those were the best I had.  Probably just the most portable. 
They also left a new-looking, small laser printer in the box I haven't 
even turned on yet.
