Let´s face it- the 8051 hardware is beginning to loose
influence.

Reason for this is the "new" generation- they don´t start
with restrictions like small memory, EPROM burner and home
brew debugger.

They are used to a full blown IDE, compiler and plenty of
resources.

The clever competition hands out the systems and even the
compilers for free. Free samples and bonus programs for
educational institutes are also common habit.

A concentration of 8051 knowledge- may it be from a commercial
or private organisation would help, to keep zhe 8051 philosophy
alive.

A lot of knowledge begins to fade away- namely the small and
independant web pages.

So 8052.com should not only open to the big guys but also to the
small ones.

Hope, "8052.com still going strong"
