Navigation in the years before GPS meant celestial navigation with an sextant and a lot of manual calculations. When portable computers as #Sharp #PocketPC with enough RAM (>8 KiB) hit the market, programmers found a way to put all the tables and maths in the machine and made taking sightings fast and reliable.

Now can test applications for WM6.😀

To simulate Gizmondo games, you also need Nvidia GoForge sdk. The games themselves work, but the graphics created for the accelerator do not work.😞

Has anyone managed to get this battery to charge?

It wasn't #Unix, and it was in the year 2001. But I vividly remember running #Linux on a #Compaq #iPaq (Model H3600) my former employer gifted to me when I completed my training.
I was already done with #Windows at that time, so I ditched #Microsoft #PocketPC in favor of Linux. The distribution was called Lisa, IIRC. I had to invest into a sleeve and a 128MB Compact Flash card to enable Installation of a full LAMP-stack... had to compile it on the device...

If you're ever in a position where you need to prove that you are Alpha Geek among the pack, running Unix on a 1998 palmtop will almost certainly do it.
