FWIW, I love the 33F and the 24H. Probably the best part compared to the 
high-end 18Fs, is not having to deal with the "rom" and "ram" qualifiers. 
You get a lot of bang for the buck: 40 MIPs, 128K of ROM and 8K of RAM cost 
only $3.50.

Even though we haven't had to migrate to a PIC32 yet, the path is very 
straightforward.
