   Based on this idea:

   How about an email client that uses Glide, the 3DFX 3d rendering library?
   Specifically targeting the voodoo 2. (I know it's PCI, but there are PCI->PCIe adapters).

   The OS can't screenshot it because the OS has no idea what pixels are there!

     minor downsides:
     1. can't use standard GUI elements. gotta redesign it from the ground up based on 3D primitives.
     2.gotta be fullscreen and 16bit color
     3. output quality is only VGA, and I think it maxes out at 800x600

     on the plus side, it's physically impossible for any AI bullshit to screenshot it, unless you accidentally attach a VGA capture device or point a camera at the monitor
