Microchip is so interesting that way.  The core sucks, but the 
peripherals are good, the current-drive capability of the I/O can't be 
beat, and the company seems to be as reliable as can be for dependable 
delivery and decent price.

I know that when I have my hardware-guy hat or my purchasing-guy hat on, 
Microchip usually wins hands down.  It's only when I put on my software-
guy hat that I start bitching.

(50MHz, specified to operate at 125C, a not-unreasonable instruction set 
for assembly-language programming -- how can we go wrong?)
