And then you pass that second milestone some day:

You graudate from the lowly 16F84 to the bigger iron
of the family, like the 16C73, when you realize that
you desparately need those extra peripherals like A/D
and PWM!

I passed my one-year PIC anniversary last month.  I am
currently working on a PIC'bot using a 16C73.  Sadly, it
is the mechanical side of things slowing me down not the
electronics or programming side.

Have fun, good luck, and keep on PIC'ing!
