One wonders at a former IT & Programmer having no PC.
I've several 64 bit PC boxes and screens got for nothing from a small local company getting laptops.

Linux Mint 19.3 32 bit is still supported (though only Calibre up to 5.44). It and 64 Bit Linux only need 1 G RAM. A decent S/H box PC & screen or old laptop with maybe 64 bit CPU and 4G RAM is likely under $250 / €250 / £250.

I'd give a spare laptop (or PC + screen) free to any caller I thought needy. I won't ship.
