Well, the second test has been successful.
I like tinkering with old hardware to see how far it can go. Right now I'm using a 2001 Sony VAIO 256MB RAM Windows XP 800MHz laptop.
Since browsing in XP mode is no longer secure (note that privacy does NOT exist online) as far as viruses and malware are concerned I installed Puppy Linux 5.2.5 Lucid and used that to browse, along with the proxy browser Opera Mini 8, using QTWeb Browser for those sign-in pages.
Thus the Sony (and ASUS) is a "Dual Operating System." It can be either an XP computer OR a Puppy Linux computer; emulation is not being used.
Recently the open library wifi became "invisible" to it in both modes. Typical...
Thanks to the KNOWLEDGEABLE folks at the Puppy Linux Forums I found the driver I needed to use the trusty Panda Wireless USB stick. The range was greatly increased AND unlike before I can even get into WPA2 networks if given the passcode. The Sony did not have that ability before.
Today, thanks to a simple trick (well, not so simple getting there...) this ancient laptop has gotten into the "invisible" network. This post is being done securely on a 2001 laptop.
Add to that the extra games and apps Puppy Linux has access to, the trick for watching Youtube videos, AND- really nice!- thanks to help from Gingertips the fact that the game "Foxtail" runs on it and you have a perfectly effective 2001 laptop in the year 2018.
So older hardware need not be thrown out and piled on Third World landfills (poisoning the environment of poor people) after all. Now, what can someone with real skill rather than my lesser level do, one must wonder?

If I didn't reply to your birthday wishes before- thank you, and I am sorry for the delay, I somehow missed your post.
