It seems to support Linux, but I see no mentions of running on Remarkable - that would be a good target right?

Should have called it Leibniz to match the famous calculus controversy
Diskutant · 4 years ago
I didn't know about this controversy and checked Wikipedia[0]. Funny thing is, the first information is what it is called in German ("Prioritätsstreit"), indicating it's somewhat relevant in Germany and yet there is no German Wikipedia article about it.

There is a small segment in the german article about Leibniz[1] and even less in the German article about Newton[2].

"Prioritätsstreit" is just a german word for a priority dispute, i.e. the question who was the first to come up with calculus, not something to indicate that this would be a priority to the German volk. If my memory serves me right, Leibniz didn't much mind about the whole business.

Einstein is the perfect name. Newton's physics is a private case of Einstein's after all.

*limiting case is the term physicists describe this relation between newtonian mechanics and relativity.

You can run Einstein with a large (larger than OEM) virtual display.

If the idea of having an virtual eMate in a floating floating window appeals to you, you’ll like this.

I don’t recall running it on a Nokia n800, but you could have done that.

Has this seen much progress? It had a few niggles last I saw, with TCP/IP for instance.

Thank you lazyweb, I appreciate your diligence in solving this issue/problem for me.

I really wish there was a reasonable—like, less than 75 years from now—copyright expiration date for things like ROMs. Apple doesn’t make a dime from Newtons these days, so it’s not like they care if someone wants to run Newton OS on Linux. Same for the companies that made retro game ROMs—a lot of them don’t even exist anymore.

It’s just silly.

I suggest you search for the relevant terms with "site:archive.org", then if puzzeled by the suggested audio formats klick on "show all" and voila!
