Images from Zaurus 5600, 2002-2020

The Sharp Zaurus 5600 is a very small linux machine with a number
of amazing apps, including Calculon, that can create mathematical
images at least through 5 dimensions. Most of the files below are
early work. The Zaurus had a strong community for years. I went
online with WiFi at a linux gathering in downtown Manhattan; the
5600 was one of the stars of the show.

The applications are very close to the terminal. There's no camera,
no phone. It's massively outdated for current online requirements,
but it has its own value. I've read books on it, worked with
graphics and medical imagery, written with a keyboard connected
through infrared. It slows me up like the abacus or sliderule; I
have room for thought without neoliberalist advertising and fake
news breathing down my neck. (Is that the right expression?) Now it
serves as an archaeology among other things; there are talkers, for
example on it. A strange and shimmering world when all things
digital seemed possible, somehow cleansed. (WorldCam images are
common now; I've made video from them. But this used an early
search form that kept the sense of wonder going.)
