I suspect there'll be quite a few English £1 coins with Franko's mad hatter pose on them....

@ klk300r & TheGoose

It cost's me about £58 to print each £50 note, so I'll sell you guys some at £65 each including postage...

You are right, there are a small core group that say "price/performance ratios be d###ed, we're getting this."  There's anther group that says, "show us something useful with XMOS and we'll buy."  This group is small but far larger than the first group and probably enough to keep the hobby going, assuming the condition can be met.

Is there a pin compatible cpu to replace the PA6T once Apple stops making them ( about a year from now)?

That's not to say that XMOS isn't an interesting chip.  You can program it and put it inside robots and other remote control/sensing devices.  I'm intrigued with the idea of launching one on top of a model rocket.  The great thing is that if you don't recover XMOS from it's remote location you really aren't out much money and you can easily just program a replacement.  And all you need to get started is a USD 99 programming box.

One nice thing about XMOS is that it is a fairly powerful processor so any remote data gathered can be processed before being transmitted to your main location.  Not every remote location is going to have wifi or an ethernet cable available.

And in some ways the PA6T lives on in spirit in their A5 chip that powers the iPad 2 and (likely) the iPhone 5.
