IMAX movies like Oppenheimer that use 70mm film still require a Palm Pilot, and instead of rewriting the software they just made an emulator.

I don’t know why, but I love this. https://www.theverge.com/23801118/imax-movie-palm-pilot-oppenheimer

Here’s why 70mm IMAX movies like Oppenheimer need a Palm Pilot to work

In IMAX theaters around the world, Oppenheimer will play in its full 70mm glory. In the projection booth, a Palm m130 will help make it happen.

@tylersticka I love this. Of all the platforms I’ve ever written software for, Palm was probably my favorite. Basically an instant-on Mac Plus in your pocket.
