> Does it cost you to be listed as an official consultant, or is based on > volume or something else? The local FAEs are the gatekeepers on this program. They get to know you and make sure you are really doing this work professionally, not just a kid or hobbyist looking for free stuff. You also have to do a certain number of PIC projects and then submit code for their review. Overall it's a great program for those it is intended to serve. There are people at Microchip whos only job is to provide assistance to the official PIC consultants. You also get more attention from the local office. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
