What!?  I haven't seen "Piclist Is Cool" yet?=20

On a more serious note, I had heard that these were originally the contro=
llers=20
in printers, then got used in other devices more and more.  Then it sort =
of=20
became it's own device... a generic microcontroller.  But PIC came from i=
t's=20
original use, as a Peripheral Interface Controller.
