   Somewhere noted 'Systronics' ... 1980s/90s context ... used
   DS-5000t '51 variants, came with a minimal but usable serial
   programming board and a BASIC compiler. Affordable. Used 'em
   for many projects. The 't' is for 'time' ... RTC included.

   Never saw a shortage of UNO chips ......

   Anyway, they were just fast/capable enough and CHEAP
   enough for a variety of projects. Good dev environment.

   TODAY ... maybe PICOs are the better path ... but they
   may not be BEST for every app. I admit I do like the
   idea of "JUST Enough" ... the PIC 12F-xxx chips still
   have a special place in my heart  :-)
