Reading the thread about programming multiple Picaxes in parallel made me think of a "problem" I had recently: I had three 18M2 chips all with different programs running but, when I made a change to one, I had to change them all (wireless serin/serout).
It meant a lot of download plug swapping and I lost count of the number of times I downloaded the wrong program into the wrong chip! No great hassle but it would have been great if there was a compiler directive that could look at a programmed ID in a chip and determine if the "new" code was destined for the correct chip.
