It did seem that most of the classes I took were too basic and never got in to any thing too new. Some classes were a waste of time, I thought many would be over my head and most didn't teach me anything I didn't already know. Well for the first time to the Masters and not knowing what to expect, I will try to choose classes more wisely next time. I must say that the wafer fab tour was most impressive and very clean, best wafer fab area I've ever toured. Microchip's clean room makes some of the other clean room tours I've toured in the past a joke. Everything is up to date and currently all migrated on to 8" wafers, Microchip seems to be heading in the right direction. They mentioned possible 12" wafers in the future. I won't need to do that tour again, no more bunny suits, trying to fit the tour into my schedule messed up my desired schedule in the first place. Next conference should be more productive, too bad they are changing locations, they out grew the Westin Resort with over 900 people attending. Attendance has been growing by about 100 people per year I was told. They expect over 1000 people next year.

Subject: RE: [PIC]: Masters 2005 reports? No, my class was on Thursday... so they were all that bad... I also really liked to see many familiar names from microchip walking around the place and talking to everyone without any problems. I filled out the survey and I only said that I didn't quite like the level. For example, I took class "913 HTC: Hi-Tech C Compiler for PICmicroR MCUs", it was the first one ever.... I stay there for the first half hearing about the Cromwell, the compiler, the parser... bla bla bla... things that are already on the hitech manual. So I went to some other class, I don't remember the name, where they introduced the dsPIC33 and the PIC24, VERY interesting stuff...
