I don't know why but this kind of project brings me back to my Commodore 64 days. I remember seeing an announcement for a new version of the C64 but it would not make sense unless it could capture the spirit of that little yet powerful 16-Bit device that you can learn so much from and also play amazing games on. Booting straight to Basic as the CLI inspired many of us to just try and write our own little "software". It must have been the beginning of many CS careers. This type of inspiring device can only come in a mobile form these days and none of the current OSes are as beginner friendly and straightforward as Basic on the C64 was. There might be a need for a tablet with an Oberon like system that could attract the teens of today as a customizable and easily programmable device.
