Woohoo! Finally ANOTHER question I can answer =)

PIC = Peripheral Interface Controller (is that it?)  The BEST micro I've ever
used (well, it's the only I've ever used.  I'd give a definition, but I'm
scared of the future criticism <g>  Check out www.microchip.com

Programming Parallel Ports (?) =  Uhh....not sure about the specifics on this
one.

Basic Stamps =  These are the little (not so little anymore with SX versions)
guys that make robotics/applications easier.  As opposed to programming the
PIC with Assembler, you program Stamps with another form of BASIC.
BASICally, it's a single-board computer (aren't most MCU's classified as
this?) utilizing the PIC.


I apologize for my over-use of parenthesis <g>
