1st of all someone was asking who was on this listserv and where
they came from.... Well I'm new to this list, I live in Ontario, Canada.
I'm curently a student in the University of Ottawa in Mechanical
Engineering.  I'm in my 3rd year.  The reason that I joined this listserv
is that I have a big interest in Robotics.  The only problem with this is
that it is costly.  (any suggestions???)

        2nd.  I'm got a slight ideal what a PIC is but can someone
clarify it for me.... like it's applications, how hard they are to use in
a robotic application.... and whatever you thinks would be usefull
information.  It would be appreciated.

        Thanks
