yeah, that makes trying to do any sort of interrupts on these machines
non-starters.

This only really comes into play when we're trying to do things like
terminal programs that want simultaneous input and output processing.
Things like iss tracker, weather, turn based games etc won't have as much
of an issue on TED systems. It's okay, just have to accept the short
sightedness here.
