If I can get some concept of the software going and have someone to build the hardware, this or any time could be a lot of fun. Well, my friend, welcome to Future World as far as I am concerned. The reason I want something like that is because I know that the hardware used in these experiments would have to be really really fast and as many cpu cycles as possible would be a good thing. I am just looking for something more powerful than the average for a research platform.
