JFTHOI, I went to the Digikey site and checked on AVR
availability of 2313 and others. No stock, no backorder date.
The database/catalog, however, are all set to go o nthe day
the stork finally arrives.

After listening to all the AVR buzz/no_availability_misery on
piclist for a year, jumping into AVR sounds like pure
______________ <---[fill in your own word].

As I recall, Mot had this kind of problem in the early 90s when
Ford or somebody started putting the 6805s in autos by the
millions. Anyone know where millions of AVRs might be going to?
Telecomm, maybe?
