#ATARI LYNX EMULATOR MAC OS X INSTALL#
The 20 gigabyte internal hard disk of the U750 may seem small, but considering that a complete install of Windows 7 Home Premium consumes only 8 gigabytes of disk space (including a gigabyte for swapfile), that leaves 12 gigabytes of free space for documents, music, and video. The U750 essentially becomes an instant 10-megabit internet router.Īnd now that Windows 7 comes standard with Media Center built-in, it is terrific for watching pre-recorded television which I record on one of my TV tuner enabled machines, and for watching iTunes video podcasts. So what I do when I dock my U750 at home for the night is I use the Internet Connection Sharing feature in Windows 7 to stream the WiMAX connection to the rest of my house. For example, since I mainly surf the web through either the built-in 802.11g or the WiMAX dongle, the wired Ethernet functionality is not being used. I've found uses for my U750 that weren't even imaginable five years ago. I am happy to report that the device upgraded to Windows 7 recently, and I am currently happily running not just Windows 7 on it, but use it with my 4G WiMAX adapter to effectively have 10-megabit internet access with me anywhere in the city of Seattle and Portland. Yet Windows users have had this wonderful little UMPC available which runs Windows XP and the latest Windows 7 as well as something I love to demo, Mac OS running on it (in emulation in SoftMac) as pictured here from an old blog posting of mine.Ĭonsidering the 2004 release date and what this computer packs, this is truly one of the most amazing pieces of electronics ever released.

I even wrote about it about 5 years ago here, pointing out then, as it is still true today five years later, that Apple has still yet to ship a truly portable Macintosh.

and Japan - an Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) to be more exact - called the Sony VAIO U750. Long before the iTouch and iPhone, long before 2010's wave of "touch" PCs, Sony released a wonderful little handheld PC in the U.S. Here is what the device looks like when I first used it at Starbucks five years ago. It has been available - and I have had this device - for the past 5 years! Small enough to fit in your jacket pocket, Supports iTunes and Windows Media Player of course,Īlso supports playback of recorded television in Windows Media Center, Great for playing music and videos at the gym or on a cramped airplane, Support for thousands of apps which runs on the Windows 7 operating system, It has a large 5-inch touch screen with 800圆00 colour resolution,Ī 90-degree rotate to allow for easy reading of documents,īuilt-in 802.11g wi-fi and a port for external 4G data and GPS adapters,Ĭompact Flash and Memory Stick ports for loading documents,
I have such a device in my hand right now in fact. Rumor has it some well known computer company may even release a handheld tablet device, ooh, how exciting! With this year's annual CES show coming to a close in Las Vegas, a large amount of hype was focused on touch screen monitors and tablet PCs. For these first few segments I will work my way back in time in small increments, to remind some of you just how quickly you might have forgotten about some things from this more recent decade. Let's not dig up the dinosaurs quite yet. I am not however beginning this series of postings with something from the year 1980. To look back over these past 30 years, I plan to make 30 postings here in 2010 about every other week on a Tuesday, thus calling this blog the Thirty Tuesdays. Programmed them in Quick C, Visual C++, Turbo Pascal, and numerous low-level machine codes for operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS, MS-DOS, and even OS/2.

And during those 30 years I've owned and developed software on countless Macintosh, Atari, Dell, Gateway, HP, Sony, and other computers. 10 years since the Y2K hype which ultimately inspired me to start blogging later in 2000 about all that was wrong and sometimes right about the computer industry.

20 years since starting a job as a full time software developer at Microsoft. 30 years since I first sat down at a Commodore PET computer in grade school and typed in my first program in BASIC.
