memory shouldnt be an issue at all, thats more than enough... most problems 
should arise along the lines of the conio and/or graphics output.... first of 
all the conio.h for geos isnt really working well (and looks incredibly ugly 
aswell :=P), then it would require major restructuring of the code to use 
GEOS' windows and gadgets rather than native contiki stuff.... mmmh... is 
there a way to use bitmap graphics from within geos then?
