Thanks for the links.  I also found other snippets of USB info, and whereas
that's how I learned to program PICs in the first place, it was definitely a
lengthier process, and with all the other stuff I have to do it's hard to
get motivated.  In a class I can avoid most other distractions, as long as I
can convince myself to switch off my phone :) .  Since I need to be in
Austin anyway, and this class is costing me zero, I really can't lose,
except maybe a 8 hours of my life.  I really need this knowledge soon.

I really am into assembly, and though I know C very well, I haven't used it
for PIC programming.  I spoke with the Microchip folks running the class,
about the prerequisites and they are fine with just having the prequisite
knowledge, without me having to formally take the class.  Bit I will
download the free C18 compiler and play with it a bit before the class to
get familiar with it.

I think I have the USB presentations from the last Microchip Masters -- I
remember downloading some of those a few months ago.  I'll have to check
later.

Cheers,
-Neil.
