Everybody has their interests. Even OSS programmers have interests, if not 
always of economical nature. I don't think Mr. Denk has any more reasons to 
"be pissed" with Metrowerks than you might have reasons to "be pissed" with 
DENX or Abatron.

That is a very subjective observation. Here is a slightly more objective one 
for you: BDI can use almost any UI that supports gdb, and there are quite a 
lot. Not only DDD. Does Metrowerks offer you that amount of choice?

Well, I suppose using a 10Mbps switch shouldn't cost much more than a 100Mbps 
hub, and you almost said it yourself, that it would be more efficient in a 
crowded network ;-)
What I really wonder is what the choice between a switch and a hub has to do 
with "global technology trends".
I detect an increasing amount of resentment in your words, and that is not 
good as far as my experience goes.
