Do you think you could just answer something that's been bugging me
for a while? I've heard before that "inputs should never be floating,
either make them outputs or put pull-resistors on them". Here's the
problem: all the standard port pins are bidirectional, which means
even those used as outputs "normally" will be inputs for a fraction of
a second before the code has a chance to fix them. Does this mean that
every output pin must carry a pull-resistor as well? That seems a
little crazy, but it also seems like the only legitimate solution!

Thanks,
Chris
