Holy cow batman, a tiny 8 pin chip can do floating point arithmetic. I gotta get me one of these. No excuse now for not writing a computer controlled sun tracker based on time & location.
Many,many years ago I wrote a software floating point package in assy language. It took several weeks of reading/programing/re-reading/re-programing and a lot of late night coffee. Criminy, now I can buy it in tiny 8 pin chip.

I used the version 3 in a project, blimey the learning curve, it was like learning to rock climb before walking. however, once you reached the top of the curve the thing that can be done with it are really quite impressive.
