0) Rantings and ravings

    Disclaimer:  Just so it is understood, the "rantings and ravings" are
    MY rantings and ravings.  My readers are refined and sophisticated
    and would never rant or rave.  I, on the other hand, sit in front of
    the TV in torn underwear and drink beer out of the bottle.


    Well gang, this should be my last post of the 68hc11 FAQ.  I'm
    turning this FAQ over to Bob Boys who never ceases to complain about
    my FAQs being more popular than his Motorola 68K FAQ.  Maybe he'll
    stop whining now :-).

    Seriously, I'm finding it harder and harder to find the time to do
    justice to my FAQs.  I'm afraid the 68hc11 FAQ suffered the most.
    That's where Bob comes in.  Besides being a first class beer drinker,
    he already has experience with FAQs (Motorola 68K and VME bus).  I'm
    sure that Bob will infuse much needed life into this FAQ.

    I thank all of you for your kind assistance and encouragement during
    the time I worked on this FAQ.  It may sound like a cliche, but the
    Internet is a great place to live.  I've met a lot of friends and I'm
    having a great time.  Someday, we'll all have to get together and
    drink some beer.  See ya around.


    Thanks to Motorola for sending me a set of their famous "pink books".
    This is a really great collection of reference material.  I wish that
    the manufacturers' literature for other microcontrollers (the 8051
    for example) was of such high quality.  These books are definitely
    not for the beginner, but if you are into the hc11, these books are a
    must.  A real first class effort on Motorola's part!
