        True, but given what else is available in it's class (even in the same
Atmel family) it is an odd omission. I'm sure they have their reasons, I'm
just ticked because the project I had in mind REALLY could have used an
onboard ADC. Now, did I read the datasheet well enough beforehand? No, but
then I didn't think I needed to, a part "this high" on the ladder SHOULD
have ADC, standing from 1000 feet away, so I didn't expect it not too.

        To me an ADC these days is like an UART or a TIMER, it's something that is
simply in every higher end chip. I guess I'm just spoiled!
