Add this to your ignorant use of top posting, it is obvious you don't
have a clue! No wonder your site is invisible to the search engines!

Yeah, I am sure TO YOU the PIC is the ultimate of electronics. It will
be at the peak of your intellectual reach forever. However, for most
applications we design here, it just doesn't have the horsepower. Plus,
there shortcomings lead many designers to use 8-bit offerings from
other companies.

Know that your stuff is in Toyland, don't be ashamed of it. Lots of
people use them, but if you better understand your audience, you'll
peddle more of that junk.

Ok sorry about the top posting, fixed.

I've seen site for chicken breeding and circuit design, do you
specialize in anything in particular? Do you have any reviews of your
electronic designs? What microcontroller if any do you prefer when
designing, as the Microchip stuff (they sell millions of em) are only
good for toys I suppose :-) Eight bit micros are still the most popular
by a large margin, typical appliances don't need 32bit CPUs and small
microcontrollers sell for pennies. Your keyboard and mouse contain 8
bit micros, and likely your remote, VCR, TV and thousands of other
devices. My kits are aimed at hobbyists, students and experimenters.
Even you assuming you actually know what a microcontroller is had to
start somewhere. Be it Intel, Motorola, Atmel, Microchip... You
probably started with an 8 bit CPU.

I suppose Serama Chickens are good eats but had a hard time finding
decent recipes.


Here is the MOST valuable piece of advice you will ever receive: hire a
marketing guy. You have ZERO clue that you are on the low end of
electronics, or ashamed to realize it. Because of this, you will
totally miss your market segment unless you hand things off to someone
who can honestly assess your junk for what it is. Old, low-end
technology.
Why not try something A MILLION people have not already offered? Your
kits are no more or less baseline or useful than a million others.

But you miss the point - SPAMMING isn't an accepted market method,
even on SED. Maybe if you offered something REAL for someone's time it
would be tolerated. Dunno. But you are just an angry little man trying
to look like a hot shot now with really pathetic attempts to insult me.
Haven't been attacked so viciously for 30 plus years, over on the
monkey bars.
