LONDON — Microchip Technology Inc. and ON Semiconductor Corp. are 
combining forces in an attempt to acquire Atmel Corp. in a deal that 
values the latter at $2.3 billion. Microchip is leading the initiative, 
and the deal would in part be financed by the sale of Atmel's 
nonvolatile memory and RF and automotive businesses to ON 
Semiconductor. 


On the other hand, maybe they'll dump the PIC!  (evil grin)

Seriously, it's possible that they will keep the AVR, and give us
tools that work, and real support!

Possible....
