Lpc2000

If anybody at Philips want to improve their online forums, please, please
make it available as mailinglist too (or better: a mailing list and a good
online archive with good search facilities). Mailinglists have many
advantages compared to stupid web forums. You can see it with this yahoo
group - I guess most of the people here use the mailinglist feature of
yahoogroups and not the webpages.
