No problem! I hope you and other MSP430 users join and help out. I've only been working with the part for a couple of weeks but I'm already very impressed and somewhat intimidated, frankly; the PICLIST is invaluable for getting over the complexity hurdles within Mchips parts, and no matter how nice a part it is the MSP430 isn't going anywhere without some developer community! TI is very old-school in that way; I can't figure out how any company can watch Microchip and not learn. As I mentioned in a posting to another category, the new eGroup for the TI MSP430xxx is at www.egroups.com/group/msp430.
