Don't feel so bad. I spent quite some time recently day-dreaming
about the best way to upgrade a major project from 16F88 to
18F1320 and whether it was worth it (damn banking - of course
it's worth it). Then realised 18F1320 doesn't have I2C, which is
integral to the almost-completed prototypes. Now day-dreaming
about whether to write s/w I2C or second s/w UART and the
implications circuit-wise thereof

d'oh !
