But I don't think people over here are really bothered about this more than 70% of the posts in this thread doesn't address the original issue. I think most of the people are interested only in pulling each others leg.

If you look at the thread
http://www.8052.com/forum/rea...%3A04%3A17
you will see no "legpulling" at all. It is possible, for those that want to, to get a serious thread.

When antiques like the 8255 get mentioned, some fun may start, but a serious helping sequence suggesting modern solutions will run parallel.

HOWEVER, when someone want us to spend valuable time trying to decipher what the question is, the thread will get off the track ESPECIALLY when someone try to defend the use of Stupid Monkey Shit.
