Peter,

Thanks for the pointer on changing the subject line.  A lot of forums don't allow changing the subject line, so I assumed this one didn't either.

I haven't really researched other processors much, so I'm not aware of the pros and cons of the PIC versus the SX.  Rick, I have heard about the 16-bit PICs, and I think there are even some chips with hardware multipliers.  I'm a little hesitant to discuss the features of other chips in this forum, but it seems like Parallax should have already done this homework, and they should be able to choose a replacement.

I think a free xxx/B compiler would be advantages to Parallax.  That is one of the features that helped me transistion to from the Stamp to the SX.  Even though it could be used by non-Parallax customers as well, it might convert them into Parallax customers.
