It really depends on how you view things, I too like using interrupts. I
had
considered polling a pain. But I've learned when they're useful and when
they're
a pain. The RS232 example is a border line case, but I think that if the
interrupts come too fast for interrupt driven code, what chance do they
have
with polled code? There is a place for each.

BTW I live in an interrupt driven world and ... excuse me a minute...
