Ooh, yeah, and there are a couple of Pentium IV systems, but... that's beyond our borders. You must never go there, Simba.

Funny story: one of the P4 machines was my younger brother's high school desktop. It ran Windows XP. It was left plugged in and ignored for a decade or more after he finished college and moved across the country (2009?), and at some point someone turned it on. I discovered this circa 2019. It's off now. But I do wonder if I was responsible for silencing a long-revered, hard-working elder on some botnet.
