do a search in the forums and read the manual.

GPO's can be used to switch anything you like on through the display which draws less than around 25mA I think... so LED's or circuits to control anything you like (fans, lights etc.).

One good computer related example is using them to turn your display into a digital fan controller, and have flashy lights to tell you when you have new emails etc.

Cheers,
