AVR-Chat

There are actually a few applications where I use a PIC instead of an AVR 
(the 10F200 is nice).

IF Atmel gets bought out, it would be stupid for them to discontinue AVR's 
though.  When a product is selling, you don't stop making it. Hopefully 
the only thing that might come out of it is better support for the AVR's.
