What do you expect me to say?  Of course *I* thought it was great.  Actuall=

the attendees did rate it well above average in most catagories, so you can
say the customers were happy.  Unfortunately that wasn't enough to convince
Microchip to offer the course in subsequent years.

I am teaching a course this year, but on a different topic.  This one is
"Advanced Assembler Techniques", and will show some of the tricks we have
developed, including wrapper tools like PREPIC.

The real Masters in Arizona is way more than a few training classes.  If
you're into PICs, it's definitely worth going to.  I know it can be
difficult from far away, but I'm not that close either.

I take a extra week before or after the conference just to explore around
Arizona.  I wouldn't want to live there, but it's great fun to visit for a
couple of weeks.  The area is so different from here.  I rent a car and tak=

a small tent.  There are huge areas of public land you're allowed to plunk =
a
tent down with little restriction.  It's not hard to be places where the
nearest person is a few miles away.
