Not my picture
just an image that the kitty and old school icons made me think of.
Also I don't think it would be safe to go online on a win XP computer today unless Microsoft are still doing security patches, which I doubt they are.
Ah. Well, the cat is still adorable and I wanna pet himbs.
Yeah, you definitely shouldn't use it as a primary system and if you're going to use it for retro software and games, airgap the machine. It's definitely not secure anymore. If it was, I would still be using it. It worked most of the time, which is a claim that Winblows 11 can't make. If they remade it, with no modern crap, just the original XP design and modern security and software support, it'd be their best selling and highest market share product ever.
