A big THANK YOU to MIT and Dale, and everyone
else. You guys are great! :o)

Selling mugs and t-shirts is cool but it's unlikely
to ever amount to real compensation for the costs
of running the list. Has anyone considered contacting
Microchip and asking them for contribution??

Surely a few grand here and there would be nothing
for a company of that size, and they could get some
additional value from the list, maybe being able
to add a "daily update" post each day or some other
form of value added advertising on the list. Maybe
an occasional post from a Microchip design guru?

I wonder what percentage of their sales comes either
directly or indirectly through this list? Maybe a
deal could be worked out that really benefits all.
