It&amp;#x27;s nice we have this great cheap computer, but trying to find a screen to plug into it is terrible. A computer monitor or TV is fine, but both of them draw too much power and are far too big and stationary. And have you seen the prices of small HDMI screens?

My thinking -- most high schools require a graphing calculator, such as the TI 89 or similar, which is around $100 or so.  Imagine if for that $100 you get something that can act as the same calculator, but morphs into a full computer when plugging in a keyboard&amp;#x2F;monitor?  It may end up getting a lot more kids into programming that way.</text></comment>
