I felt I could save a lot of trouble and shorten this thread a little.

I do apologize for upsetting users in comp.arch.embedded and perhaps my
main mistake, was to cross-post there.

You are a bad evil man, Don :)

But this doesn't give me the right to post whatever I want, wherever I
want.

You need rights to post on Usenet? Are you loco, seh? :)

I thought I had 3 really newsworthy items:

1) World's first Arduino Computer.
=================================

I tort it was cool as I had never heard of such animals - so newsworthy
to me.

Quote:

2) TRS-80 Level II on a PIC32.
=====================

Always wanted to find out what PICs could do - so newsworthy to me.

Quote:

3) Unix on a PIC32
==================

Heard of Unix on many processors but never heard of such an animal - so
newsworthy to me.

Yes, I am tied up in the excitement of the whole PIC32 movement, and I'm
sorry if I presented it all as a self promotion platform.

Yes, yes, yes, we have already said you are a bad evil man. OK OK OK,
you want more? Right, if there was a hell, you'd burn there as well.
Feel better? :)

Oooyyy, steady on there, old chap. No need to be rash like that. Smile
