There is a practical side to my interest in minimalist computers:

I have this notion about a math/CS curriculum where students build and program their own calculators. Once you make the calculator do it you never need to do it yourself again.

I have my students program their TI84s to factor, and simplify square roots, any annoying task can become a more annoying but also more fun programming project.

They seem to really like it.
