I've been pleasantly surprised by the response to the product price
range. I feel that range is in the "discretionary" area.
OK. That's open :-)
I thought you'd see it that way.
Actually my main moan on C for microcontrollers is
that the compiler is
either expensive or I can't sensibly run it, or both.
I share this particular concern. The fact that GCC supports the AVR8
architecture and I would need to buy a commercial C compiler for the PIC
line was a significant deciding factor.
