Well. I think that I'm of of the users which use PIC 's quite offten.
I'm from Czech Republic which means that I'm in europe.
Actualy post comunistic country. :(((! :-)
I own programer based on David Tait's programer and I own even profesional
programer which is called PREPROM 2. Which has all features for all microchips
and for all series of PICs and Intels and NECs and ... so on.
Now I'm working on my PhD project.
I'm sorry if I makes any mistakes in english but english is not my native
 language.
Anyway you can find me on IRC quite offten under nick AyM.
