Lpc2000

I was pleased to see the announcement of the 2101/2/3. What it means to 
me is that there is little reason to use an 8-bitter in a new design any 
more. I've been watching the ARM uC field develop for the last few years 
I've recently decided that the LPC2xxx will do nicely as my next 
bread-n-butter processor. However, on the low end the need for an 
external 1.8V regulator, external reset, and clock add another buck to 
the BOM. If you look at the low end 8-pin AVRs and PICs 8-bitters they 
have all three built in. IMHO, that's half of their charm.
