+Hopefully your machine manages to print this text.\n\
+If it did, that's great news because I managed to write a partial VGA driver.\n\n\
+Right now, the short-term roadmap is as follows:\n\n\
+* Enable interrupts using the PIC.\n\
+* Write a driver for the Intel 8042 PS/2 controller so the OS can receive keystrokes.\n\
+* A working i8042 driver will also aid in enabling A20 Gate, which should be done ASAP so the OS can address odd (as in odd/even number) megabytes.\n\n\
+Feel free to mess around with the code, although I doubt it will be very interesting at the moment.\n";
