I decided to go with Arduino for a few things:
1: it is made in Italy.
2: in case of troubles tha community is there: for sure someone else has had my same
     problem already.
3: anyone with little or no software and hardware background can have a project running.
4: gives instant gratification : upon receiving the kit anyone can have a blinking LED driven
     by  a RISC processor, not bad.
5: the credits.
6: in case of serious problems I can blame someone else.
7: it is made in Italy.

Done with with the Ad, after years of working around the problem of not having a real Arduino board and wiring fake-ups, I finally bought one.
This contest is a great way of putting my 35 euros at work.

The picture shows Arduino along with a same sized breadboard to host the veeery simple hardware needed to complete the project.
