Not so sure about JAL, but PIC18F2550/4550 may not be a good chip
to get started as other PIC18F parts (eg: PIC18F2620/4620) due to
the USB Stuff. The new comers may be get confused on how
to set up the clock properly for example even if they do not
want to use USB. The examples for PIC18F2550/4550 are also
mostly USB related.
