Larry,

    Not wishing to start a language war here, but I have to say that I 
have looked at doing C on the AVR, and frankly, it looks nastier than 
working in assembler.   I have vast experience in C programming on both 
the Winblows and *nix platforms, as well as others, and I love C.   I 
find the twists and turns and processor specific details so painful when 
working with C on a uC that I find assembler more reasonable (unless i 
need floating point math, or transcendental math, or something like that).

   Besides, particularly when working with a new processor, I like 
working at the assembly level, as it forces me to develop an intimate 
understanding of the hardware and the architecture, which is invaluable, 
regardless of what level language you eventually code in.
