You want to make a living working with these things? Then maybe you
need to know which processor has most designs... not necessarily most
copies shipped (like washing machines, coffee pots). The nominees
are... Microchip PIC, Atmel AVR, Freescale HC12, Intel 8051s, TI MSP,
please complete the list. These are not DSPs or 32 bit desktop class
CPUs like ARMs and Power PCs. "The envelope please.... And the winner
is..... Atmel AVR! On behalf of all the AVR programmers in the world,
I'd like to accept this award and thank the embedded engineers of the
world for voting for AVR as the best and fastest embedded
microcontroller. Goodnight! Drive home safely!" I invite rebuttals
and anecdotal evidence to the contrary.


I won't be making my living with these things, my interest is just for a
hobby. That's why I was considering the C-stamp. Considering the number of
projects I intend, which will be few, I was hoping the stamp would shorten
the learing curve. Would it not? And would it not be easy to tranition to
AVR later if I felt inclined?
