>> I must say I like the responsiveness of Philips (through you) *a lot*
on this list. This is exactly what many of us embedded consultants
really need. Philips has been very low on my "design in" list before.
Mostly because of the low interest for us who design solutions for
others but never buy a lot of components ourselves.But I think this is
about to change.  I hope Philips will be as good as Microchip and others
on samples and app. notes in he future. You are definitely on the way... <<

Yep, things are very different these days. Nearly everything is built in 
the far east, but the designs are still often done in Europe. The 
manufacturers simply have to support small design houses or they 
wouldn't sell silicon!
