Movie compression.
> System Design:
> Support for ZShell, Usgard, maybe more
> Communication system that includes EII, I2C and its 85 extension MBus
> networking protocal, IR Link, maybe more
> Modular design for easy upgrading of certain sections of the OS
> Grayscale 4 or maybe even 8, we have the room
