Hi Andy,

Thanks for your time and input.

What's making me laugh about this thread is that it is just emphasizing to
me why computer science is almost like voodoo. And I don't mean that to
insult anyone here -- I would never do that on purpose. Programmers have to
be absolutely correct on our code mnemonics and syntax, etc., but
unfortunately us programmers can get away with being vastly different in our
processes. (I wish my C++ course used Code Complete by Steve McConnell in
addition to the regular C++ textbook.)

Reminds me of the great article in Embedded System Programming by Jack
Ganssle which is great reading for PICsters as well:

Take care Andy,
