It would be very interesting to put together a system for the Raspberry Pi which focused on these ideas, esp. paired with interface hardware to support it (though of course, that is a total inversion of his idea of computer as unexpandable appliance).
Interesting that the inventor of the KoalaPad tablet (an early graphics tablet for 8-bit computers --- I can recall using one on a Commodore 64 in the high school computer lab) was a user of and advocate for the "Swyftcard":

Or, perhaps someone could explore a nice version of the Oberon programming environment on the Raspberry Pi? (apparently drivers are the big hold-up?)
