microcontroller geeking, a new list is born

(I suppose "geeking" could be considered a word. ;)) Hi folks. For some time now, Philips has had a mailing list intended for discussion of their 8051-architecture products. It was very poorly run, and there were many complaints about slowness, duplicate postings, etc, but it was a popular list nonetheless. A few days ago, they announced that they'd be moving the list to a web-based forum, and everyone screamed. Fortuitously, many weeks prior, I had set up a mailing list called "microcontrollers" on my mail server, but hadn't told anyone about it. Well, you can see where this is going...As expected, Philips' web forum was dead on arrival, and there are about fifty people (and counting) on my microcontrollers list. Mine isn't intended to be 8051-specific, but many of the first subscribers were refugees from the Philips list cutover, so much of the traffic has been 8051-related so far. I hope for it to be a general (but highly technical) forum for discussion of topics related to embedded systems development. Anyway, since I know several of you (especially John Wren, whose name I see all over the net in 8051 code repositories!) are into embedded stuff, I thought I'd drop a note to the classiccmp community and let you know of the list, and invite you to subscribe. It's microcontrollers(a)neurotica.com, and you can subscribe by pointing a browser at http://mail.neurotica.com:8080/mailman/listinfo/microcontrollers. -Dave -- Dave McGuire "She's a cheek pincher.
