I was thinking more along the lines of an oldish pentium with 128..ish 
meg of ram. Not too hard to find those atm. First thing I thought of 
running was apache with some basic info on the AP, *maybe* something 
simplish like an irc server as well to let local people talk to each 
other (until the network gets linked up enough to run one or two irc 
servers for melb. I won't ask "what is OOM" I'll just do some research.
