Hi Isaac - Not sure how to respond. My current PIC useage is supporting a 15-year-old product - I suppose if I was really a business I'd blow these guys off, but they're friends of mine. AVR/avr-gcc has been the order of the day for quite a while. And I continue to commit TMS7000 applications. Life in the fast lane... :) No disrespect intended - Your posts are invariably interesting.
