I used it as the project for my electronics12 class in highschool, eventually creating a "digital die" which could, very crudely, simulate every physically manufactureable die (4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, 12-, 20-, and 30-sided) plus 2d2 and 8-bit hexadecimal.Fun stuff. I wish my high school would have had some electronics or programming classes. Those kind of things were for the vo-tech kids that took off at noon to learn a skill because they weren't going on to college. If I had had those courses, I probably would have ended up with one of those majors rather than mechanical engineering, which I ended up never using. The classes offered at my high school were so middle of the road that we had to petition for a calculus class so that we would have a math class to take senior year.
