True enough, though at 18W the IIe is better than the macbookpro I might have used otherwise that draws 32W, at least while running Linux.
If you watch the video you'll see a dev board on my desk hooked to the LED display. It's an ARM Cortex A9 pandaboard and we can get at least 1 GFLOP/s out of it while only drawing 5W. Probably more useful than a massive array of 6502s but not as much fun.
