Dang, you're right.  Still really good specs for a uC.

I've been spoiled by the Pi Zero W anyway.  Next project is to turn one 
into a BlueTooth -> HDMI-audio convertor so I can use a hotel-room TV as 
a set of speakers.  It's a ludicrous use of a sophisticated Linux 
computer, but they're $10, not much bigger than a pack of Rizlas and run 
on a standard phone charger, so why not?
