Lpc2000

When I bought them a couple of months ago they were shown as in stock at 
Arrow and I ordered them online, but I see they're not in stock now.  In 
fact there are no LPCs of any type in stock.  Maybe they're suffering from 
too much popularity.

Availability is also a concern for me.  If I use the LPC series in my 
designs I need to be able to get reasonable quantities at reasonably short 
notice.  Arrow was the only place in North America that I found that would 
sell in quantities less than 200.

Availability, plus the lack of code protection, has me reconsidering the use 
of the LCP2106, I but need more processing power than PICs or 8051s provide. 
I switched to the LPC from Cygnal.

Can anyone suggest any alternatives of equivalent power and capabilities to 
the LCP2106 that they have considered that have better availability, and 
code protection?
