I have to put my two bits worth in on this one.

I have to agree with Andy in that C has its place and Assembly has its
place.  The good coder knows when to use the right one and or both.

                No, actually not intended to offend anyone.

                I think both have their appropriate place.  In fact, a
good bit of my
                library is in assembly - Z-80, 6502, 6805, and PIC.

                But what's really great is being able to fully debug an
app on my PC and
                just compile it for the PIC.  That's what I'm talkign
about.
