Oh, maybe I should stop using computers that are the same age as my truck.

If not, at least consider switching to a different operating system if they're going to be connected to the internet. That looks to be Windows 7 or 8 if I'm not mistaken, and Microsoft has ended support for both of those at this point. Connecting that system to the internet as-is probably isn't a great idea from a security standpoint.

No, it's actually XP with the Royal theme, I'm really just kidding around using it.

Even if I did upgrade to a slightly more modern operating system, it still probably wouldn't support the latest firefox, since the CPU doesn't have SSE2 support (A Pentium 3M running at 1.13GHz).

At least it plays Duke3D on its beautiful 1600x1200 screen.

No updates yet on my ‘98, but…..

I bought this today for my new DD. 2006 Silverado with the 5.3 and 136,000 miles. Just came to Michigan from South Carolina so it’s spotless. I started a thread in the Other Builds section to keep track of what I do to it.

The paint shop has been swamped with work so I just got a few more photos sent today. Should be getting some more tomorrow too.
