It's too bad that no one told microchip this when they had the
"hair-brained" idea to build a microprocessor with adc's, uart's, spi
interfaces, flash rom, eeprom, ram and only charge 2.00 for one.  Someone
should have given them the good sense to ask 200.00 for them, that way the
chips wouldn't have been wasted on inane concepts like light dimmers, toys,
environmental control systems and even the dreaded "detecting milk froth"
project.  I, for one, choose to take advice from more than one source.  I
suspect that microchip did the same.  Remember it was "ridiculous" idea to
build an electric light source, freeware Unix clone, wireless
communications, and a "personal" computer.  After all the world was going to
need only three mainframe computers to meet all of its data processing needs
(according to another self proclaimed expert).
