40KB?! Luxury! I've just started programming in C for the Microchip PIC 
microcontroller series. My first big project ran out of program space, 
so I had to change to a micro with a larger ROM. The new one's got 4 
kilowords of ROM (14-bit words, so equivalent to 7 kilobytes) and 224 
bytes of RAM.
