        I guess it depends on what you are doing. Many of my projects were heavily
tested with the simulator, most external events can be simulated using the
stimulus files. The only project I did where the simulator wasn't too
helpful was interfacing to an IDE hard drive, and there reason there was
simply figuring out what the hard drive was capable of, the PIC code was
relatively simple. TTYL
