Discussions like these can generally enlighten all involved directly, plus the people that read them. It's always nice to hear others views on things, how they apply themselves to a problem. This is what interests me most - the application of "knowledge" rather than the "knowledge" itself. Great for people who may be mostly "self taught" and may rarely have the benefit of fellow students/tutors/colleagues to pick up the practical stuff from, the "real world" things that books often miss out. In short, it's all good stuff. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
