Well.. Anton.. Bruce.. 
Since I have your attention..  I was interested in the various IDEs you guys 
use.  It sounds like you both play with WinAVR.. so being the Mac guys you 
are, I assume you're running these in parallels or something?  
Regardless... I have a couple of related questions:
1) Do you know if this also works w/WINE and still talks to the hardware?  
2) Do you all know of ANY AVR (or Audrino) dev environment that allows one to 
do debug stepping through code? (akin to the old TRace ON or "TRON" mode)

I seem to remember from the college real time programming (and hobby) days,  
that any sort of real time I/O programming is very hard to do without some 
kind of stepping based t-shooting tool. (remember using the Buffalo compiler 
for the Motorola 68HC11 allowed such step debugging, even if it was via 
emulator).
