Hi Erik,

Tho I don't program for microcontrollers, reading your text
I find great introduction to the issues involved, and
helpful in thinking about programming in general.

I live almost entirely in the world of "cotton wool" and it
helps to know how to think about things when some or other
thorn pokes through.
