Please stop 1. presenting your opinions as facts, and 2. judging others so harshly I must thank the OP for bringing up this question because after posting my earlier response I wanted to understand this in more detail and found this gem: http://www.embeddedinsights.com/channels/2010/07/21/to-mmu-or-not-to-mmu/ The healthy debate in the comments contain as much information as the article itself. This article also highlights another important point - that there are often opposing views to any topic. MMU/no-MMU or theory/practice or vi/emacs, etc. What I have learnt from my experience is not to be so convinced and blinded by my own belief that I disrespect or disregard the other. This has helped me listen to the pros and cons of both perspectives and use the most appropriate one for any given situation. - Raja _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
