Re:VxWorks memory, embedded protection

There's usually no point in memory protection

I strongly disagree. Memory protection makes possible to continue the processing of other parts of the system even if a subsystem fails. It might be a non-critical subsystem like a statistics gatherer, which is not critical at all. My point is: if some non-critical subsystem fails, the rest should survive. Memory protection is indispensable exactly for that.

Ideal surfaces

I found it very useful to have ideal surface renderings while contemplating the lego constructions.
This site has nice rotatable images:

Nice job indeed!
