Don’t Want to Chuck Your Old PDA…
.. graft it onto your PC!
PalmOrb is software that allows you to use your PalmOS device as a LCD status display for your computer! You can display system stats (such as: CPU load graphs, CPU temperatures, free disk space), news alerts, stock indexes, WinAmp graphs, etc.
PalmOrb works by pretending to be (or emulating) a real LCD; a Matrix Orbital LK204-25 LCD. So you can use existing software that expects a Matrix Orbital display! Here are a few LCD driving programs:

Mostly jet aircraft mishaps, some tanks and other things that move (or used to).
I’m pretty sure these photos are from another web page, but they are still cool to look at. View this site before boarding your next flight. Have a nice day.
