I'm usually all for these "because we can" exercises (and guilty of a few 
myself) but I must admit that I don't really see the point in this one at 
all. There's nothing particularly technically challenging - just streaming 
pre-formatted data to video memory off disk - and the results, 16 colours at 
whatever resolution is supported by the bandwidth, wouldn't be particularly 
exciting.

But each to their own, I guess!
