The seventh Windows is released in two versions-32 and 64 bits. Many people prefer Intel processors and use the 32-bit OS.

The main thing is that the percentage supports 64 bits and it does not matter if it is AMD or Intel. I have for example a relatively ancient Intel Pentium 4 640, 3200 MHz (16 x 200) on the Prescott 2M core, it easily works with Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) without even straining (actually, I'm writing from under this Windows now). What can be more ancient now I can't imagine.
P. S. I want to add that almost all the programs that I used to work under 32-bit Win XP now work well under this axis. It even creates two folders " Program files "and" Program files x86 " (specifically for installing 32-bit programs). This is just a prog Labels is very ancient and abandoned by developers.

Good afternoon!
Dear forumchane, share whether there are any requirements, rules for cataloging the collection, personal experience. I understand that you need to keep records, either in the form of a log or using computer programs, but how to personalize each instance? You can assign a number, but this is not provided on the labels.
Sorry if the question is amateurish.

Western museums are now actively digitizing collections, and in parallel, each instance is assigned an identification QR code, to which all data about the instance is linked. But this is still not for private collections

yet, and so - enter your own numbering system (abbreviated designation of the family and, within this family, end-to-end numbering, for example) and provide each copy with such a separate label. Keep the corresponding entry in the folder. Similar systems are also used in museums.

The diamond! I started to guess about Bookerell myself, but Mount Exeter is 5 points!
However, here is the answer from the British Museum: "Secondly the interpretation doesn't make sense in English, north is never abbreviated to nort., and Exeter never abbreviated to X. There is no Mount Exeter."
Can still think??
You need the name of the collector, then it will be more clear. And by analogy, the British Museum will find a label, perhaps..

If anyone wants to think more, I will explain some details. The main thing is that the label obviously contains quite personal abbreviations. So what are the rules for abbreviations to talk about with such scribbles?.. Here it is more important to put yourself in the place of that collector.
The label has such a smudged "t" that I'm willing to agree that it's not "Nort.", but "North", just very tight - perhaps because a small label or strip of labels was difficult to grab on the table, so that it did not fidget after the pen (!), which is why it was so hard to get a good idea. and it made sure that two letters stick together at the end of the word. Or maybe, according to the layout of the labels on the piece of paper, the cross at the end of the line threatened not to fit (that's why it was pressed strongly to the end of the word, but even so the scissors just grazed the text). And what was written with a pen, and not with a reisfeder, is clear from the dependence of the line thickness on the pressure force (especially clearly - in the number "1"). I just didn't dwell on this purely technical glitch at the end of the word, because the main thing is clear - what is north. And museum workers (if they were asked to speak to them, and not to English teachers) should understand that abbreviations that are ridiculous from the point of view of language norms can be explained technically: for example, the size of a label cut out in advance, where every millimeter counts, and you are either too lazy to cut larger ones, or you don't have time.
The collector, if the name is so important, is Jack Stapleton of The Hound of the Baskervilles, who chased heteropterus morpheus in Devonshire around the same time (though not in the same part)...
It was almost certainly written by an Englishman. The lowercase letter " r "is written like our handwritten" h "(and not like our printed" g", as the Germans often write, say). The upper rounding of this letter is a stable feature of individual handwriting. At the same time, the collector city considered it sufficient for itself as a starting point for the future (i.e., it was clearly not from the United States, Australia, or Honduras).
The letter" o "(and zero, respectively) is not closed by a friend from above, but immediately goes to the right to the next sign, so both " o " and zero are not solid signs, but just a sagging line.
The other signs are more or less clear.
It is clear that the collector is concerned not with the smallness of a piece of paper, but only with how to shorten it according to the rules in order to get an A in school, but only in order to understand his own cuneiform later. Or do we do something wrong all the time? And do we always have time before our own death or before the transfer of a copy to replace the label with a label that is pleasant to any accurate person?
By the way, the easterness is indicated before the north: you can timidly assume (or you can not assume, because sometimes they say in this order) that it is also a personal "code" for yourself: so that later you can keep in mind that there is a big shift to the village from the city of Exeter to the east, and already to the north - much more less; this way you can indirectly store information about whether the angle is less than or greater than 45 degrees. The fact that the hyphen after "East" ("E.") is actually a double may also serve the same purpose, although this is a personal matter for the collector and his individual techniques, and for us it does not add anything to a completely clear point.
The letter "X"in the English alphabet is pronounced as "Ex", so for myself personally it was most difficult to put it. This, of course, is not today's abbreviations for SMS (where not only instead of "you" they put "u", which is pronounced as a letter of the alphabet, respectively, but also instead of the preposition "for" - "for" they put the number "4" - that is, as if "four"), but at least this is an isolated herald of the utilitarianism of the current English language.
On the map, the main city at that time, from which it made sense to navigate, is Exeter, and the village of Buckerell is located just to the "east-north" (I would say - north-east-east). Maps are available online.
A mountain (but at the same time the capital of the county!) it was really not worth scaring the English museum workers. What will they think of us? We'd better think about them. Here, for the sake of what great economy would I shorten "mountain" as " mountain."?..
In short, there is not much room for maneuver on this label to look for more reliable options in an absolutely clear case.

Here is another question from the British Museum: "There is a William Steer Riding who subscribed to the Entomological Society of London at about this time, he lived in Buckerell. Possibly he was the collector?"

The collector, perhaps, and he; then the scribble can be fully justified by the fact that already at the time of March 31, 1901 (the date of the census of England, Wales and Scotland), this comrade was 65 years old;

http://www.rootspoint.com/record/1901-UK-C...6-e5b0d2b795f1/

but only if he was still in adequate condition in 1907 and understood that such writing could not be read by another without effort, I would assume that the label was not written by him at all. After all, from another for such labels, you can get a lot of money, and for yourself, a normal person will not add in which direction from the regional center is his own native village, in which he has lived for years. If a villager would have specified, then in which part of this village he was fishing.

Perhaps someone from Devonshire (judging by the possible reduction of the city name only for a regional) colleagues stopped by to visit him with a net, caught something and labelled it for themselves. E. F. C. Studd (from Oxton - in the vicinity of Exeter!) was engaged in Devonshire butterflies, in particular scoops and dippers. His collection ended up in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. Ryding himself was considered an authoritative expert on the butterflies of India, although he also studied English. He had published works. Lived specifically at Buckerell Lodge (one of the two parts of the village of Buckerell). Their coordinates can be set at least by:
