The CPU in the box radio shack will sell is a Geode GX. I'd appreciate any correction, but I would put its capabilities at 366MHz rather in the ballpark of a Pentium2 /K5. When I look at GeodeGX, I still think of it as a Cyrix on steroids. I used one of these, not exactly sure how it was clocked, because these chaps invented the Pentium-Rating back then. And the plus behind it as well. The part I had was a PR 166+.

Anyway, I believe PIC is rightly positioned in the U.S. and in every other developed country in a greater scheme:

I mean whatever one might think about taking people in developing countries by the hand to lead them into the glory land of googled wisdom - there is plenty of people around us who deserve the same treat.

Enough sarcasm for today. Or maybe not. 300 bucks for a PIC is impudent - but well, the people targeted with it are the usual victims of rip-offs. Now it's enough.
