If you don't mind having a used piece of equipment, it can be done. I picked up a system for my wife at retrobox.com for $75, WITH a keyboard and mouse. P3 450MHz, 128 mb RAM, 16mb VRAM, 6.5 gb HD, CD-ROM, USB and ethernet included. I had to add a sound card, but that as not that difficult or expensive an addition.
There is a world of difference between being of the public and commenting, and commenting publicly about a professional decision. What one person says about another is simply that, one persons opinion. When a boss or ex-boss says it publicly about a persons professional life, it is flat out wrong unless you are intentionally trying to get someone black listed and ensure they will never be hired again.
