Hacking started this industry, and many of the most influential designs 
in the world began their lives in a garage. hell I don't even have a 
garage top work from now, but it hasn't stopped me producing significant 
designs.

And I complained to Philips that they'd wasted too much silicon on RAM, 
and Flash. Mind you I don't use RTOS, or HLL, or TCP/IP. I'd be happy 
with 16K flash and 4k RAM. I only want 32 bits for sheer processing 
speed. I can't do what I want an 8 bit device or a 16 bit device at the 
current consumption I need. Everybody wants different things. The 
ADuC702x series from Analog devices looks like a much better balanced 
family of parts to me, although I am still trialling the LPC.
