Well, Mark might accept one, but that wouldn't guarantee a port.

Frankly, it would make more sense to buy him a Ryzen 1800X cpu, an AM4 motherboard and some DDR4.
That way his compile times on the software he is working on would be faster.

And what I'm sending is rather modest, as my expenses paying for classes out of pocket rather taxes my income.

Anytime any of you feels like chipping in...(David has offered, but David's finances are probably tighter than mine).

BTW - I'd rather buy one of these than an X5000 myself.
It's only a few hundred more, and so much more capable.
