  When did they start doing that?  I've gotten their permission to include
bits of data sheets into my class notes handouts before.

WTF?

I have heard of that but none of my data sheets have been locked.
I think they may have stopped that after much furore.

Cool, I just pulled down a M2560 sheet, and it is not locked.  :)
I've been working with just the M128 in the last two years, so I
hadn't had to try any other sheets lately.

Glad they stopped doing that, typing them in by hand was tedious.

C vs asm.. Both have advantages, I just haven't needed to USE C for
anything yet.
The last one was a little board that ran four sonars, a GPS and some
other sensors, and put their outputs onto a serial link, accepted
commands from the host system, plus a bootloader.  No real complicated
text string processing though, no hard math..

Then again, no compiler bugs. :)

The joys of rapid app development are not lost on me, but I'm lurking
on several C lists, and they seem to spend as much grief per project,
just different places.

I think I have some '48 and '164P data sheets that are locked. Its a
real pain because I'll often double-click a word or register name, then
try to Copy, Find, Paste, and it doesn't work.
