clotting issue, and just when things were coming back together in 2013 a
spider bite in my left ankle spread to my right leg, and went necrotic
in the bones of my foot, and my achilles. So no income whatsoever for 17
months, and $150 looks like Everest to a gnat. Hence I need to use what
is totally free, or already owned.

Not really, I've spent too long on bed rest, unable to walk etc, plus 
wuth no income whatsoever I need to pay the rent and put food on the 
table, so, even if I didn't love what I do I'd not be able to rest. Good 
job this is something I enjoy doing

I haven't done a really large design for a while, my 11axis + GPS 
tracking system is probably the biggest, but that runs happily on an 
MSP430FR5949, my spinal cord stimulator is on a 2618 and that is mostly 
for the I/O and large memory just to hold lots of tables.
