I like jynx's description of their "personal computing 
ecosystem"[1]. The idea of everything actings as a "dumb" 
terminal for a main system (a Pi in this case) is neat, 
especially when the "dumb" terminals are magnitudes more 
powerful than the host they are connecting to. Someone, 
somewhere recently remarked about how this imbalance was 
somewhat normal when considering how powerful GPU's are 
these days compared to their host computers... I can't 
recall where I read that though.

Currently, I'm looking for ways to legitimately get my z80 
SBC "online." It suits my wants for computing power (when 
coupled with its terminal), apart from the fact that I don't 
have dialup service to use the internet with it. If I was 
single, I'd dump the cable modem and try SDF's dialup, but 
as it stands the family would probably kill me... so, I'll 
have to find a way to emulate that I suppose.

I *could* use a Pi connected to the second TTL serial port 
on the SBC, which would give me a login prompt and wifi...
