        Hehe, it truly is amazing how terrified people are of bank switching in
PICs. It's such a small thing, yet people avoid PICs altogether because of
it. I've seen quite a few pieces of code that went nuts on staying in bank0,
resulting in their code being far to "weird" looking.

        Bank switching is easy, I have a few macros that handle it for me, and most
of the PIC stuff involving bank switching (except for tristating port pins)
is written once and never looked at again.

        Do I LIKE bank switching? Not particularly. But I am used to it and it
doesn't bother me, plus it results in a less expensive product, so I see it
as a very minor annoyance.
