blah blah 9600 baud.
Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

You had 9600? My hand-me down TRS-80 has a 300 baud cradle modem.
I believe I have finally forgotten how to whistle the 2400 baud connection sequence (that was a really handy trick in AOL tech support when the Billy type people would tell the modem to dial no matter how many times you told them not to...

Before we got our first Apple ][ with an acoustic coupler modem, we used this to start and check on jobs running at CDC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_Data_Corporation)...the venerable Silent 700...

So...using the iPad with the pencil as a Wacom-esque input device does work. However, running my non-Pro iPad at the Air's native resolution makes it pretty much a gimmick.
With an iPad pro, I could see it actually being useful if you already had all the parts.
