  No it's a very old and slow one.  Picked it up a few years ago hoping to use
it as an interface to the MP3 software on my media computer, but it just isn't
big enough.

  Currently just scrolls logs it's darn good at doing that though! ;) Touch
drivers are not installed.

  This cost $40 a few years ago at Factory Defect.  It does disaply utf8 but
there's no reason it wouldn't being a VGA screen. ;)
