Yes, a very good idea, but did you recognize that there are many other
Minix users who don`t have an PC/AT/eTC?
It would be a much better idea to use a Graphics Library which can be
used by different kinds of computers (Sorry for my non-English!).
I thought Minix is a portable system, which means to me (Correct me if
I`m wrong) programs can be used on any kind of Computer with only a small
amount of changes.
