Re: IFI Critique
STAMP2 is not a step in the right direction to be sure. The problems we had with STAMP2s as a control mechanism were many and various -- complex & unweldy programming slots, unsigned 16 bit math, no interrupts, poorly implemented UART, and so on.

It was basically easy to do easy stuff using PBASIC, but anything complex took a guru to implement.

I think there are better micros/languages to use.
