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.
