If Oregon, why not Toronto? Cheers, Mel.

When you register, even if you are the first to register, you always get this message. At least that's been my experience. You'll probably get another email shortly that you can get in. -- Jack Klein Home: http://JK-Technology.Com FAQs for comp.lang.c http://c-faq.com/ comp.lang.c++ http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~ajo/docs/FAQ-acllc.html

You can buy the development tool (USB stick) for 1/2 price ($10), with the coupon code MS681LXD. I can think of a lot of applications for a chip like this.

Hey, now THAT is a useful posting! :) I just ordered three, and forwarded the information around at work. Would be nice to set up a lunch-and-learn seminar and hand out these sticks. |
