yes the nokie winphones was not good at all, i think the idea was from
microsoft to have common devices running windows 11 :=)

it have always failed with there basic compiler that is used to compile it on
commodore 64

put comal cartrige in commodore 64, it runs faster, sadly microsoft have
always doing incompatible codings for non portable code, all basic roms on
commodore computers is not even basic portable

yes all possible via apps that support sshd on android, but no root access
