Very good point, Don. I've mentioned that to people in the past -- even
though the info on the microcontrollers in that book is a bit out of date
(more like, out of popularity, really), the rest of it is solid and it has
good advice on designing interactive "apps" -- I've even recommended the
book to UI/Interaction people I know for that reason.
