Scott, I find your comment on 24 bit interesting as I had a new client we were in talks with who wanted us to code in C because assembler programmers are few! So I called one of our current clients to see if they have the C run modules etc. and he said "Where do I look?" and I said "Don't bother, I've heard enough already!". So, you're right. Let's not get started!

So don't get me started.
