Actually, MikroElectronika seems more along the lines of what I want. I
saw the NanoNote a while back, and I just don't like the Makeup Compact
look of it.

Now to figure out WHICH MikroMedia I want (-= As long as I don't HAVE to
buy the programming environment as well. I'm sure gcc can handle the
task, right?
