Luminary is a small outfit. If interested in the Cortex ARM then SGS has parts now. AVR is excellent path. Purchase the STK500/600 eval board for $80. Then download the WINAVR package from www.avrfreaks.net and you have a full blown GCC C compiler with IDE for free. I've used this combo and its alot of band for your buck (no bucks!).

I am a high school student, who is doing quite some "theoretic" work with women at the moment. I want to collect some practical experience about sex. Are there any simulation tools that I could use for the learning purposes? VLV

The AVR Butterfly board is also quite nice for playing around, and it is dirt cheap. The only additional piece of hardware you need is an RS connector that you solder on the board, and a serial port in your computer. Sadly the latter is becoming rare in new computers. -- Pertti
