Great idea Matt... I actually didn't have any... that made it worse... word=
s
can not express my frustration at this point.

I would really love to see someone from Microchip demonstrate debugging of =
a
12F675 with the PICKit2... In front of a lawyer ready to file a class actio=
n
lawsuit for advertizing something that obviously doesn't work.

Look... I like debuggers... I don't like simulators (they are doomed to
succeed) and I would really love to be able to show this working.=20

Has anyone done it with a PICKit3?

This may sound a little obvious to some, but you didn't mention it, so I
figured I ought to ask- do you have a decoupling capacitor on the part?
