OK, this is getting annoying now. I have seen this happen before on this
list and I feel I should mention it. Why is it not enough to say that one
has decided on using a certain part? Why does it matter that I have decided
to use a part that might not be optimal but should work anyways? True I'm
making the job a little harder by not using the ideal part but when you are
working on a project for a hobby purpose there are several factors that
don't come up when designing something for a market.

One reason for my choosing the F84 is that I have them, simple as that.
There is no reason for me to spend money and wait for other parts to arrive
when I have 16F84s in my bin. Is this enough???

Sorry if I sound a bit ticked but this often happens on this list, someone
wants to use something and you get dozens of messages asking why not this
part and why not that part. Maybe I'm the only one annoyed by this, so be
it. TTYL
