Spot on! Before wiping, Vista showed the last update to be ~June '06.
Sadly, it's not as impressive in the ports as I initially thought (didn't know what I was looking at).
Not real sure what I'll end up doing with it. It's in good condition.

    I took your advice. Mint and XFCE have been good to me thus far, so I went for it.
    Very thankful I didn't have to burn a DVD for it. I've done it before, but Ventoy is so much more convenient.

    It took awhile, but it worked. Ventoy on USB drive. First had to take a video to see the Post screen in order to determine which F button to press (F9:boot order). After that no problems, just waited.

    Turns out I just didn't realize what some of the 'ports' were; abandoned monitor connections and a little remote control that slides out. There's a DVD drive and headphone jacks, which I like. I am curious about Expandable Port 3, though. There's a command that lists them isn't there?

    Didn't really have much of a plan for it. I'm not sure what use case it's best suited for. Tempted to give it as a gift.

    I keep finding these tags on trees at my university in c/whatisthisthing@lemmy.world

    The botanists in the biology dept have the answers you seek. I suspect there is a map of your campus trees, and this one is on it. It's common for universities to have an arboretum on campus. Find the map and look for trees you've never seen before! I bet you can find a ginkgo or a cork tree.

    The native plants in a region define that place. Our relationship with those plants gives us a sense of identity. How we treat those plants in turn reflects back on the way we think of ourselves. People need to stop trying to pretend that they live somewhere else. Stop trying to emulate corny Victorian to English gardens or Spanish colonial crap. You will drain your aquifers (and your financial reserves) doing so.
