Nice one, my son! Watching this thread with interest.
Was about to start work on a project using the same 2350B board, but was thinking about using a mouse and keyboard. Touch might be the way to go!

I had a giggle about your post that was teasing Pete about never supporting BT. I was gonna reply:
I chickened out and decided not to post

Very nice! Is the 1024x600 resolution supported natively or is the display up-scaling or re-scaling a different resolution?

You know the old saying: Never say never.
It could also simply be that Peter loves a challenge, and if he's not really working on anything else, he starts tinkering with those ideas, not really caring or expecting it to work without LOTS of effort - as he himself says. The tinkering yields some - perhaps unexpected - success, so that peaks his interest, and away he goes.
That's my theory on why he's known to state "Thing X will NEVER happen." - then it does!

Should say: "Thing X will NEVER happen." - UNTIL it does! Famous quote from the designers of the Titanic..

P.S. When Peter started out porting MMBasic to Pico, there was not a lot of code written for Pico. So every new feature had the be hand coded by himself. Then there was some guy that showed VGA could be generated, and Peter looked at the code, and used it/improved it etc.. Now we are 5 years (yes 5 years !) further, and the world has embraced the pico's, and communities start writing code for it/porting to it. So Peter does not have to write every line of code himself. He can learn from at what others created, and use the knwoledge.
And then there is Claude ... to help with new code.

This is indeed a game changer! Imagine what one can do with this features! Especially for future microcontroller applications it is insane. You have one display with touch and it is possible to control a lot of things with it.
Now it feels like MMBASIC is arrived in the future! I still can not believe it, I have so many projects in my mind with it. To be honest it also is some kind of a "professional look and feel" (if you know what I mean).
