 		 #142131 - Did he actually choose it?
Responding to: ???'s previous message

He's not in a 3rd world country, so he has options, yet he's chosen to do this.

I don't think he did actually choose it - I think it's just what his teacher gave him.

I suspect that he doesn't know that alternatives exist

If you think about it, there's really nothing "better" about the modern ISP-capable FLASH-based parts for most applications that use little or no I/O.

I disagree!

For one thing, there's no need for a PROM programmer (and eraser) - so he wouldn't have to ask others to blow chips for him.

ISP alone doesn't give a lot more than that, I agree, but devices with on-chip debug are in a whole different league.

I know you like to stick with the old monitor and glass teletype, but I prefer to take advantage of the modern tools & facilities...
