Wot that guy said.

This is why the people in this group are into embedded systems - it
retains that olde-worlde charm of 16K/2K of ROM/RAM space (if you're
lucky), 4MHz clocks and _smart_ coding.  Much more fun than just picking
out the appropriate class from a Microsoft library and glueing it in.
