Thanks Eric, maybe there is a little timewarb in my brain..

When I finished my studies in 1973 at what is now Delft University of Technology
the first microprocessors (Intel 4004) had just seen light.. it went fast since
then, but that the first PICs were there in the mid-seventies was not noticed by
me.. Could have saved me a lot of work when I did some development with 8051's
 in
mid-eighties!
