Re: Code Read Protection Feature : Flash Security issue ?

All I can say to this, is "oh, no, not again....."

To the sender of the message below, I'd recommend you do a search 
on "CRP" over the past few months: you'll find plenty there to keep you 
busy for a while. You'll have to make your own mind up, though, as 
consensus is a bit lacking, to say the least.
