Hi, If you notice, most questions get answered very quickly and only a few are direct responses. After that, most of the time they move off course and end up a totally different subject not related to the original question just as happened on this thread here you started. From "why can't I get answers to my questions" to "whatever happened to those Tshirts we were gonna get". When I first decided to try PICs, I bought a Warp13, ordered all 4 of the "easy pic'n" PIC books that were out at the time, ordered a X-1 lab board from Micro engineering, ordered some PICs, and downloaded MPLAB. As I waited for all this to make it in, I started reading the reference manual on 16bit PICs and writing my code. I got on here and asked a question. The first reply I received was from Olin Lathrop...a page and a half telling me his criteria for answering a question and I didn't meet 4 of the 6 and he didn't have the time to waist on me(his reply must have taken 30minutes or better to type). He also came right out and told me I was stupid (I still have the email if you don't believe me). When I got the materials in that I ordered, I figured out the questions I asked on my own and it was a long time before I asked another question on this list again. I would say it sounds like you've had a much better experience than I did. Keep on going. I'm now starting a business to try and sell the products I've designed, all of which are PIC based.
