If you are/were familiar with the 68HC711 then a typical AVR would 
have the same
memories except that the EEPROM is serially accessible rather than parallel
accessible like the 68HC711.

With the 68HC711 the main program residing in the OTP main memory could change
any EEPROM locations for anything that is required.

ie customer Baud rate settings, messages to be displayed which could 
change with
different version of firmware, engine management parameters which would be set
in the field...and anything else which needs to be user changeable but not part
of the main code.

You will find the AVR assembler pretty easy to use once you get your 
head around
the way it works. And yes you will mostly bump into the same people here which
you bump into at AVRFreaks. :-)
