I went ahead and ordered two.  I think having the LCD with larger 
characters than most LCDs will be useful.  These can become some easily 
programmed test gear.  I use Mecrisp Forth to program devices like this 
and it is very easy.  I only wish they had similar boards with ARM 
processors.  But they seem to segregate functionality according to how 
they see customers using the MCUs I suppose.  Even though they promote 
the ARM as being power competitive to the MSP430, they still don't seem 
to push that with the eval boards.

Doh!  When I was printing out the receipt I had to go through the page 
listing all your orders.  Seems I bought two of these two years ago!  I 
dug around a bit and found one.  I suppose I can find uses for all of them.
