Yeah, very true, Dick. I know enough PIC programming to realize that
you have done a great job to squeeze so much functionality out of that
instruction repertoire. But the price of processing keeps coming way
down (Raspberry Pi 25 bucks, just for one of many examples), so I
guess someday there will be a new generation.....
