I would suggest my approach, especially without heavy gaming requirements. Find your local pawn shop that does computers (out of a handful of local pawn shops, 1 in particular will specialize in computers and 1 in particular will specialize in musical instruments) and go get a low-end laptop (& a trombone!) $200?
I tend to wipe the disk and install Ubuntu, but I’m a long-time Linux lunatic. Windows does just fine.
Best of luck! 🍀

Hi
So this might be better on Squeak-dev or Squeak-beginners, but I'll give it a shot:
Squeak is quite light on system resources. It runs fine on a Raspberry Pi 3 with 1G of memory and a small SD Card. On startup it wants about 10% of that 1G of memory.
On disk it should fit well within 150 to 200meg.
I guess this will run Windows though, right? I suspect that the overhead will be larger. Does anyone run on a small Windows system? How is the performance?
cheers

Greetings Squeakers,
Please have someone respond to this email since I have never programmed before, and am not sure how to make sure my machine is compatible.
Thanks, Stacy
