Throwing together hardware is the simple part of a project.   The real magic is in the software!     People often forget that the software component is often a black hole of no escape.   I will soon get started on documenting the algorithms that we are going to implement.  After all, this is where all the magic is.

A key piece is doing some evaluation of CPU performance.  Before I go too much further I need to do some H/W performance tests to get a good idea of what we can get put together in the prototype.  Stay tuned....
