Lpc2000

Hi bob and Tim!

The grape wine is also saying that the ARM instruction
set (ie the core will dissaper) will be abandoned!!
And that ARM will do as Motorola did, ie selling off 
to create On semiconductor, Freescale, or like Siemens
doing Inefenineon, etc, ARM changes to Cortex!!!

Thats what is heard trough the grape wine, not 
what i say im just one ear in the grape wine!
Its just roumurs so i dont have the slightest clue!

Anyhow in my oppinion abandoning the brand name
"ARM"  for Cortex is not the cleverest thing to do!!
In any bussiness name is important!

Imagine Intel changes to "Bananas inc" or Shit inc, or
Coca Cola to ICM! (Imperialistic Capitalist Murders inc!!)
That would raise a eyebrow or two! :-)

Otherwise that that i like the LPC2106! I just wished
it had  a 8-12 bit ADC in it! 

Best regards
KD
