A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
I'm stoked about it. I do a lot of service
work on headless systems, and
not having to haul a[n old] laptop around for a serial terminal will be a
huge boon. There's a keyboard just about anywhere, and I envision a
"production" model with, say, a 5" LCD in the case, running on batteries.
Literally a shirt-pocket terminal.
If you know of a smallish VGA LCD, that'd be great. I myself have
nothing smaller than about 12", larger than my Planar ELT-320
terminals.
I like it because you can show up on site with just the pocket-sized
box and a wall-wart, and use available resources (kb and monitor)
rather than hauling them around. Also, as a bonus, it'll work with
many KVMs for longer-term installations.
