Hi,

Hope this doesn't look too much like spam, but I'm a writer for 
Business 2.0 magazine, working on a July 2006 profile of 
Microchip.  I was hoping to get some voices of PIC users into the 
feature.  The article is about how Microchip has done a good job 
providing grassroots support to engineers including support, the 
sample program, low-cost IDE, and programming tools.  Thus, many 
people choose the silicon when developing products.  I met the 
Microchip CEO for about 3 hours last week.  He's a crazy man!  But he 
seems quite focused on the smaller businesses and the consultants 
that Freescale, Atmel, STmicro, and others won't touch.  Has anyone 
developed a consumer or industrial product in the last few years with 
a PIC involved?  Has anyone had interesting bushes with Microchip 
people?  Would like the hear your take.

Regards,

Bob
