rful. back the major point. the avrs are almost all under $10. there are ones at up to 20Mhz, im pretty sure. Some have over 8K of flash program space. they can access external ram as well. and as the for the number of projhects for the PIC, some ppl dont care about the projects other ppl have done. they would rather invent some themselves. They may want to see how far their own brain can take them, rather than see if they can solder correclty all the pieces onto a board.
