microcontroller

my journey to expt wid live actual electronics started wid an idea to control motors using electronics. the control of motors can then be used for various purposed like device direction, etc. in the process of searching for motors i came across one servo motor. highly expensive (around 800) thn i also got to kno about microcontrollers. basically these IC's are used to program and connect to the motor wich controls wen the motor has to rotate and all. these microcontrollers are really amazing things and i spent time for a detail study and got to kno bout the pins and its control. it was indeed exciting. now i guess the tough part is to find an IC...
