James ,

Don't you believe it !
That may be the greatest progress relatively that you ever make using a PIC.

Browsing your message headings since you first appeared on list just over 2
weeks ago is interesting.
You have just written a program, debugged it, learned about timers, got a
programmer going and possibly built some or all of the hardware as well all
from a previous position of nothing PICish at all. Leaps of achievement that
large are hard to come by. Congratulations and welcome to the club.
