This exact thing has been on my TODO-list for a while. It will probably 
remain on the TODO-list for some time, but I really want to do it!

I like to think that you could shrink the computer by, at least, a 
factor of four. Probably smaller.

(make the flip chips double sided and double the function of each flip 
chip).

/P
