We went to 'Not supported on Windows 95' in the early 2000s. I 'm running 
into that with my Acer Inspire project. It has a Broadcom WiFi which was a 
problem even back then. Fedora 39 Live doesn't recognize it. Supposedly 
you can install a driver, which would be great if you could connect to 
anything. I may have a crossover ethernet cable around someplace but I 
decided putting Linux on it was a bridge too far, so Windows 7 it is. 

Python 3.9 and above doesn't work on Windows 7 so I had to find an old 
3.8. There will probably be other problems. I had he Arduino IDE on it and 
that still works and that's all I really need. I doubt VS Code would fly 
either.
