Yes, and for that matter, for any computer, be it PC
or Apple or anything.

  Yeah, that's nice, but you know, if you've had a
look at the compiled listing it does exactly the same.
And in fact you are kinda *losing* from such usage,
because writing
" enable_interrupts(global) " is more readable, and
what is most important, it is platform independant!
  When you write something in C (I use ccs too), you
can sometimes just change the #include, and recompile
for a different PIC. This is one very important thing
to notice, when using high-level languages. Same
situation we have on the PC, right?
