I'm imagining software developers using this as their primary work device. Like authors that use typewriters. Distraction free.

If they need to develop for the web, they can just prop their phone above the display, and develop in mobile-first style.

I have a Model 100 that I regularly use for writing purposes ... its kind of cute to have it wired up to a raspberryPi for whenever some server work needs to be done, too ..

Would surely be nice to see a re-invented M100 out there. ClockworkPi came close, but it was disappointingly diminutive ..
