I occasionally use Wikipedia for getting up to speed on technical vocabulary and concepts.
I just took a look in their listing for MICROCONTROLLER and found that they had Parallax's Basic Stamp, but the Ubicom SX devices were not listed.
I took the liberty of entering a line item and short description for the Ubicom SX-28. But I really feel not qualified to adequately represent either Parallax or Ubicom.
So, would someone who really represents Parallax and / or Ubicom take a look and see what they really want to say.
For what it is worth, I think it is very important that the documentation for the Ubicom SX is much easier to get through than Microchip PIC.· I have downloaded over a thousand pages for the PIC and still haven't read it all. I really wonder how someone can get started without a mentor and outside help.· On the other hand, Guenther's book has me very comfortable with the SX.· And one day, I am sure I may transfer a lot of his insight over to the PIC if I ever need to.· (They are still slower - they just announced a new 40mHZ series.)

I'm sure you can do a good job on our behalf. Go ahead, do your thing with Wikipedia. I'll include a Parallax freebie in your next order for your work (remind me when you place the order, though). You know our products and you know what they do.
