Interesting. I was wondering what the hell you were talking about, but it's pretty bloody obvious when you get there  ;D

Me thinks I'm in for a couple.
I would go in for 20, but I can't possibly justify it (nor could S.W.S.B.I.)

Weird...just the other day I was wondering why no one had created a micro-controller with a display on it.  And here it is.   Being cereal here.  This is really strange.

Clever. I'd really like to know where they get the OLEDs.

Sparkfun is making them, so my guess is that it's the same OLED display they already sell.

[edit actually not the same one... microview is mono, and the one I lined to is colour, but my guess is that it's from the same supplier that sparkfun is already using]

"What to do when you screw up 2,000 orders"
https://www.sparkfun.com/news/1575
Ouch..

Let me just say that when you actually manufacturer a product, one of the worst feelings ever is when you start getting customers calling saying their thing isn't working right and you realize you screwed something up.  That feeling of relief you get when you finally ship some stuff under the gun is very very quickly replaced by wanting to crawl in a hole and die.  Oh the joys of engineering manufacturing.

Good thing I've never made a $50,000+ USD mistake.... I'd still be crying..
