Well, I'd prefer better resolution; I had one bwtwo that could drive
1600x1200.  _That_ was nice.

That said...well, I'm not familiar with the Pine64 Clusterboard, but I
can imagine.  Back many moons ago, my workplace was dumping a large
number of SLCs and ELCs.  I did not have anything close to enough space
for them, but I did extract a large number of CPU boards and, I think,
the connector boards as well.  I was imagining setting up something
with a large number of CPU boards as (what would then have been) a
loosely-coupled massively multi-CPU system.

Never went anywhere, of course.  One of many dreams I've abandoned.
