Well done Crow - excellent in fact.
Oh how the old frame warms to the site of 'days gone by' and yes you are very right.
The reverse of my OP but still nice to find someone utilizing old gear.
I have an old PIII Gateway laptop stuck away, it used to run Win95 before I installed PCLos2007 on it and apart from the fact that the battery is no longer capable of retaining a charge (unable to find a replacement - besides the cost would be ludicrous) it still runs real well abate a little slow in performance - chuckle.
Last year (under duress) I was 'forced' to abandon several boxes (a 3M skip full) oldest with a 386 - couple 486's, PIII's and 4's - from memory I spilt a couple of tears  Cry
Still hung onto an Acorn and a C128/64  Grin
One day they will be handed down like family heirlooms - ha ha.
Good on ya.

If you have sons, nieces or any type of kids around you can put some edu games and give it new life, here is the iso remaster we are using. In newer machines plays fine from a USB pendrive.

Be warned: it doesn't have repetitive games or shooters and some of the games has proved to be complex for certain levels, we are still testing.
