Well Mr. Caruthers... I have found a very interesting potential "Killer App" for F-RAM in the trade press.

I would like to share this with you... but first you have to PROMISE NOT TO TELL ANYONE!!!

I doubt Mom & Pop are capable of accurately judging the impact... if any... of this information... and you know... what with all the market mania infecting people these days... I certainly would not want to be blamed for any old farts, deaf mutes, drunks, orphans or widows loosing their life savings. <Hoo><ack><ack><Haa>

So! AFTER you take The Oath of Secrecy... look at what MAY be coming to a Lowes... HomeDepot... or AceHardware... near you:

eetimes.com

This has been on the "secret" drawing boards for a "bad" good while:
epn-online.com

epn-online.com

But the real "new" news bits can be found on this page:
plogginternational.com

If you scroll down to the deep dark recesses of the specifications at the bottom of the page... you will find a 64Kb F-Ram buried in the very heart of this Plogg thingies... be they Bluetoothed... or be they ZigBee'd. And of course... we all know what this is:

("The FM3135 is designed for use in meters, elapsed time monitors, time-of-use recording, and other data-storage applications that require time-stamping. The high endurance and fast writes of F-RAM combined with an RTC make it ideal for systems that time stamp events.")

Now remember Mr. Caruthers... "MUM's" the word!!!

Particularly since we're talking Anglia... Marlow... UK... King and Queen... Prince Harry... Shepherds Pie... Tea... and stuff. <vbg>
