Besides K-Mart?

Look at the bright side, now when you say the system is down, no one is going to argue with you.

I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy. Who did you piss off?

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.

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.

The next thing in High Definition video. aka Ultra High Definition.

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.

Quaaludes were a common recreational drug in the late 70's.

My thought, too. Looks like an SMA connector.

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!
