I will add that the technician that I'm has the right to "love" XX Risc chips,
but the budget-saver that I'm supposed to be, dictates without any hesitation
to buy yy Risc chip. So one of the most important things is the richness of the
software offer ... but also VERY important (not second to none!) is the 
presence of the supplier locally! you guys are in the States with differents
constraints and solutions, but over here, in Europe and especially in France,
the feeling at the solidity of the supplier, for me at last, is crucial.
