Then if the inverse would also be true. If a person does NOT consider a
Machine to be suitable for day-to-day work, it WOULD be eligible. Many on
this list [but not me] consider current WinTel machines to suitable for
anything. This would then make that machine valid for posting questions on
the list. Not likely to happen since the person whould be be "authorized" to
post on said machine is unlikely to even own one.

Hi David
 Yes, I think the risk is low. Even if they had such a machine,
they would, most likely, be embarrassed to state that to the group,
anyway.
