It's seems like the fact that Canada/USA border being the largest
undefended
border in the world does not help Microchip to deliver their CD. I,
also, requested
the CD from Microchip website in December. A month later I received a
letter from
Microchip stating that my requested was passed to my local dealer... I
am still
waiting to hear from him.

It seems I am not as important to this local dealer's eyes than to
Microchip !!!

Microchip, are you listening ???
