We're entering another interesting period of time. For those who want a
desktop PC to read email and surf the web, the display could well turn
out to be the most expensive component by far.
Interestingly, the RPi could result in the resurrection of the X Terminal :-)
At work I have a monster desktop that basically serves as just that. With the RPi3
it's now practical to use it to drive the display, letting me turn the desktop beast
into a VM host. VM host in the kvm/qemu sense, although I do plan to have it host a
VM/370 instance, just to annoy the kiddies at work :-)
