Lpc2000

Not so strange really -- these design contests and the like are not
democratic programs designed to spread knowledge freely over the world
(OK, that may be a nice side effect). They are a sales tool designed to
spark interest in a certain market segment -- in this case probably to
increase the awareness in the U.S. market.
