 # Bootable image that:

-#   - as an example program, prints a letter from the second sector to the top-left of the screen (by writing to memory-mapped VGA memory)
+#   - sets up a handler for keyboard events
+#   - as an example program, prints alphabets to the top-left position on screen (by writing to memory-mapped VGA memory) as they're typed

 # If the initial load fails, it prints 'D' to the top-left of the screen and
