I am currently working with a BasicX24 (www.Basicx.com). At one time, the BX24 (AVR 8535) was much better than the Stamp, but that may have changed, I am not current on that. I bought my BX24 when they were 35.00. I think they are 50.00 now. I love it. I can make something happen in minutes. My current project came together so fast I couldn't believe it. I will be migrating to a AVR Mega8 using Bascom. I just bought the SDK500 board to do this 79.00. When I have the time, I will port the code to GCC for further refinements, but in the meantime, my project is in service and working. A lot of good BX24 code from PHAnderson too, as well as easy purchase and great shipping rates using PayPal. If someone would just write a Palm terminal emulator w/adjustable fonts (sorry, had to get that in).

Just a question to all the people with I've been working with PICs for the past 2 years or so. Not on a daily basis, but I have built my fair share of "things". I'ev written all my code in PIC ASM using MPLAB (with a lot of debugging). Lately, I've seen an "uprise" of Basic Stamp users. This really has me intrigued. My question is: If I've started off the "hard way" using ASM and custom peripherals/circuits/etc., is it really worth looking into the Basic Stamp at all?
