        These are such strong words, I feeled compelled to say in
Mr. Gardener's defense that the book is not that bad. I had a lot
of programming experience, modest microprocessor knowledge, and
some electronics when I first picked up the Gardener book and I
never felt that my intellegence was being insulted. Yes, it is a
bit basic, and perhaps a bit dated even but I enjoyed it. And most
importantly it is the only PIC book and one of the few 'project'
books available at the Tattered Cover bookstore in Denver (one of
the largest book stores in the US). My mother always said if I
didn't like her cooking I should start cooking and stop making
faces.
