Could I possibly quote that on the "User Testimonials" page, please?

Now that Atmel have replaced the ATmega16L that the AVR ICE-Cube uses with 
the ATmega16A, when I get through what I have in stock the next batch will 
draw *even less* power from the target.

For those that are not familiar with the AVR ICE-Cube, let me save you a bit 
of research and point out that it is a JTAG ICE clone and only works with 
the small, but very useful, set of devices supported by that debugger 
interface.  It does not support the newer devices for which you need a 
JTAGICE MkII.  But, unlike the AVR Dragon, it does not have a 32 Kbyte 
limit.
