I had hoped to use my bitsy instead of a laptop and for ssh, mail and the odd grep, it's probably going to be okay, modulo the input issue. Web browsing is obviously not really going to work well. (I suppose one could port Inferno to Plan 9 on the bitsy. I'd rather not run native Inferno because I want 9p [or at least cpu] access to my files. Even so, the screen limitations make browsing painful; I tried it under WinCE.) I think I'm going to try to get the Targus keyboard to work. What's the non-power connector on the bottom of the bitsy that connects to the serial or usb cradle? Is it just a serial port? I suppose one would have to disable the use of the serial port as a serial console first.
