+ technical content is expected. For the purpose of this list we define
+ embedded systems as those computing devices which are not desktops and
+ which usually serve a single purpose as opposed to being general
+ computing environments. Examples include, but are not limited to,
+ all kinds of phone handsets, network equipment such as routers,
+ switches and PBXs, remote measuring equipment, PDAs, point of sale
