Like a modern VDI? I thought about this earlier today... that would be pretty 
neat, though I'd want it to handle graphics as well as text.
One of the very first things I did with the Model T when I received it last 
week was write a simple program to graph the potential progress of my student 
loan debt based on how much I choose to pay. This was useful to me because 
student loans have an annual interest that accrues daily rather than quarterly 
or yearly.

Subject: [M100] Serial to VGA module




Hello All,

I saw this posted on a Facebook group and it got me thinking. I wonder if this 
could be repurposed (with some ancillary hardware and ROM tweaks) to give the 
Model 100/200/102 an external VGA display for very little money:

It accepts serial data and drives a text based VGA display at 800x600 
resolution. Additionally, it understands escape sequences to manage simple text 
windows, etc. It's pretty cool, and it got my wheels turning.
