Something like this would make an absolutely wonderful technology demo for
something like the JPEG compression chip from C-Cubed. Maybe someone should
suggest that NeXT should get rights for this and make it run as a demo for
the NeXTDimension video board. Animated graphics squeeze even better than
real world video, so it should fit onto a single hard disk (or optical).
