I found an interesting board the other day in a thrift shop. Its a
stock-quote system. You plug it into your PC and then a monitor, and it
has some link to a stock-quoter service and you get stocks quotes over
your PC. I haven't looked at it in too much detail but it comes with the
manual. I'm sure the service costs an arm and a leg though. And I can't
remember if it came with software or not.
