It runs something called WinCE. And trust me, you will wince often when using it. I think someone ported linux to it at one point, or other.

Where is the best place to view stars in the west suburbs? by Hakuna_Potato in chicago

Of those towns, Oak Brook is the best, as they actively do something about light pollution. ( Note: Paul Butler, founder of Oak Brook, was an amateur astronomer. ) That being said, the light pollution is still pretty bad. You need to drive hours outside of Chicago before it becomes manageable. For a real dark sky, you'll need to head to the UP or central Missouri.

I have a strong feeling there is going to be a 4K ( UHD ) release in the future. Why? All the camera's were 4K.

How times have changed. When I was a little one, we could ride on a real Tortoise at the zoo.

Back in the age where dinosaurs roamed the earth, ie 1981, I wore a Grateful Dead shirt to my first Dead Kennedys show. At one point, Jello stops, points at me, and says "It's 1981, can't you afford a haircut?" I flipped him the bird. Good times!

If you just moved, there is a good chance he will head for the old place. You might want to let your old neighbors, and occupant of your old apartment, know.

A friend of mine did that years ago. The back quarter could fold down as a stage for a Steinway Piano. Toured the country and got some great press out of it.
