[edit] PBASIC
I deleted the term "PBASIC" from the line ...
- The language used to program PICAXE chips, PBASIC ...
PBASIC is the language used by Parallax and is a trademark applicable to them, not to Rev-Ed. The term PBASIC has mistakenly been used to describe the PICAXE Basic, but that's never been officially used by Rev-Ed to describe the PICAXE language. The term PBASIC doesn't appear at all in any of the three PICAXE Manuals.

[edit] PICAXE Reliability / Quality
I deleted this line ...
- NB PICAXE's are sensitive to noise on mains supplies, so these MUST be very well smoothed.
PICAXE's are no more sensitive to noise on mains supply than any other processors in my experience. The whole phrase puts the PICAXE in a much more negative light than it deserves, and I believe is unfair comment.

[edit] Execution Speed
I changed the following ...
- typically 2000 commands per second
- execution speed ... typically this will be ~500 microseconds
From measurements I made, the basic instruction timing was around 250uS at 4MHz, and that equates to 4000 commands per second. Rev-Ed claim 10,000 per second in their documentation.

[edit] Currency for price
I changed the price to pounds, as PICAXEs are made by a British company. It is irrelevant for the price to be in US dollars.
