It works, get it.  Speed is more than adequate for WPI usage.  
Realistically you need to set the monitor to at least 800 x 600 or
you'll run out of screen real estate.  Also, the faster the graphics
card, the faster the server will run.  Hint - hold down both buttons to get
the center mouse button.
