A desktop/background/windows tray util would be pretty easy to write. the I/O wouldn't be that painful either. I like USB for it, because pretty much everything has USB. SMBus (which I've used before) is effective but the programming/API support isn't where it should be.

A util to just write out a few numbers into a simple dialog shouldn't eat much memory either... unless of course it's written in C# or VB.net (hehehehe - I've got 4GB of ram,so a 30MB app to write data to my VFD isn't a big deal).
