I have been looking for a Sylvania #SmartBook for some time & finally got one! These are such interesting devices. One part 90's H/PC, one part 2000's #PocketPC & thrown into a #NetBook form factor. It's a strange hybrid device of form and function. I can't wait to tinker around with this. Since it runs on ARM and #WindowsCE I have heard there are ways to load pocket PC programs on it, though they may be unoptimized. #PDA #RetroTech #Handheld #HandheldPC

@james@mementomori.social That's interesting and thanks for the link. I just was more curious than anything. I'm definitely going to keep this as a Windows CE device. I'm a huge fan of #PocketPC PDAs and #WindowsCE devices. However, it's always neat to see what other OS's people are able to successfully boot on devices.

@Judeau@mas.to I like WindowsCE as well. I wish it was easier to install software on many of the devices, but that's part of what makes them useful for me. Instant on, get right to Word and start working. My favorite #WindowsCE device is the Vadem Clio. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadem_Clio) I have two of these. I used to have a very nice third one, but they're very picky about power and I fried it using a voltage adapter.
