I suppose it depends what your expectations are. Clearly if your eyesight can't cope with the screen then it's not much use to you. I also agree that the menu system is a bit awkward - it is however much improved in the latest firmware release, so well worth upgrading (though I appreciate that not everybody has AVR programming tools). The thing is, it has a LOT of features, and trying to select those using 4 buttons and a small screen is never going to be that straightforward. But once you get over that, it is a very capable little tool - oscilloscope, logic analyser (including protocol decoding), meter. I just wish the firmware was open source as there are a few things I'd like to tweak a bit. Which brings me onto the final thing I like about it - it's a great little platform for developing on. I know this is the PIC list, but programming an AVR in C isn't that hard to get your head round. The xmega chip has a lot of really nice features and the integrated display is great - I'm just busy working on interfacing it to a PS/2 keyboard to use as a very portable terminal!
