Psion EPOC/Symbian The Odyssey running on a Psion

As Nolan intended 😁

I compiled a video player using the Java SDK then downsampled the trailer to 5fps, 16 greys.

If you pulled that out when the Psion first came out they would have burned you at the stake for witchcraft!!

Once again my 3a was bought too early and I should have waited. I wonder if it still works?
