    I do agree with Keith. This subject is very interesting for me, and
really, 'the arriving point is worthless. It is the way what teaches us'.

    What I mean is that the disussion itself is interesting; PICs will be
used for this networking gadgets, this is PICLIST, ans I (like many others)
joined it to share knowledge (mainly to suck it).
