I was not "judging" your skills whatsoever (I am beginner too, I also used printf in my first days of programming...and gave up on it on the same day, as soon as I timed it with my oscilloscope and my eyes poped out when they saw how long it took to run and how much KB it "stole" from my tight Mega32 !). I was really only showing my appreciation of David Brown's humour, nothing more, not at all laughing at the specific target/object of this humour, honest ! -- Vince _______________________________________________ AVR-GCC-list mailing list AVR-GCC-list@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-gcc-list
