I've mostly standardized on one PIC for the majority of my apps, but that has
migrated a bit over time -- from the 16F872 to 16F913 (internal osc & more
mem), then 16F883 (lower cost), and now I'd like to have more RAM.  I just
found the 16F1936, which is allegedly in full production (though none of my
regular sources have it in stock).  I can get samples though.

One issue -- I can't seem to download the datasheet -- it times out with a
File I/O error about midway.  But I have skimmed through the migration doc. 
Here's what's interesting...  compared to the F883, a lot is double (8k
words prog mem, 512 bytes RAM, 16 level stack, 16Mhz internal oscillator),
and it seems to have hardware interrupt context saving!  There are other
things too, but I don't need them.  But all of this comes at a slightly
lower price than the 16F883!

I usually worry about very new technology, as I prefer proven reliability
over fancy features (which is why for example, I still use Win 2000 and
Linux :), and there is no errata sheet available yet.  So have any of you
used this device before and can comment on it?  I'm looking more for
reliability and bug info, etc.

Cheers,
-Neil.
