I must admit that in my business all I have a 20 pound sledge hammers when
a picture frame hammer would work

I did
come across a working Dell Celeron 2.66GHz with 512mb of RAM. I know that SDD’s
are preferred but well, I don’t want to buy anything during the testing phase.
So let me just ask: will a Celeron 2.66GHz work as a small test
hub?
