Erik,

Just joking about the check. I am glad that Michael has promoted the Cygnals. I won't try them on my current project, but I think I will bite the bullet and give it a try on the next one. My main hesistations are using 3V parts (I haven't used them yet, so I will have to learn about the logic families and design considerations) and then hand soldering the 0.5mm leads. I haven't soldered anything that small yet, just a 0.8mm MQFP. Time to start practicing!
