Hello all,
I got a quick question for everyone...

Texas Instruments is having a workshop showcasing their new MSP430 mcu in
Porland, OR. For a low price of $49, their giving a hands-on demo their
product, plus, "An MSP430 starter kit consisting of a demo board, the
simulation environment, assembler, compiler and the MSP430 documentation is
included in the workshop price."

Now, I love embedded technology and microcontroller project development. I
called Ti and asked if there were age restrictions -- they said no. Being
that I'm 17, would it look weird or be out of place for me to sign up and
attend? I think it would be a great opportunity to see what the embedded
market is like, plus learn a bit along the way. I understand that this
workshop is intended for engineers and such (I am considering a career in the
field), but their not losing much and I'm gaining a lot.

So, I appreciate your guys's thoughts on this as most of you ARE in this
industry.

Thanks in advance,

Tim Hamel
