#131357 - Semantic nitpick

Who is then the average 8052.com poster/reader?


Which average? Mode, median, midrange, mean? They may all be different.

I think by "average" you more likely meant "typical", and even then I wonder if there's such a thing as a "typical" 8052 user.

- somebody who started "embedded" when a _mini_computer took only two or three rooms


And yes, I worked with mini-computers when they were $100,000+ beasties with less computing power than a modern laptop PC and sucked more electrical current than the typical single-family household. Getting old is a bitch, but it beats the alternative.

(Ok, I've had a rough day--so sue me :-)
