If it had been only about C compilers for the PIC, then [PIC]. Since it was
about C compilers in general (with some reference to a PIC C compiler) then
[EE] was the correct choice. 

I don't think that going [OT] with this was any where near as bad as going
[PIC] with e.g. "check out the cool picture of ice on mars"
