Nice :)

I hope you will get well soon.

Right, I agree.  I think we should write a generic part and drivers.
The drivers should be an abstraction to the hardware so the
framebuffer, font drawing code, background loader, and whatever we
need will work the same on every platform.  So the only thing the
porter has to do is writing a driver. :)

Thanks,
Marco
