i, too, love PICs and MC has made a number of blunders, which they have=20
tried to cover up..
but everybody else has similar problems. You will regret going to Atmel,=20
for example.

I started with MC just two weeks after they brought out the first=20
microcontroller back in the 1980's.
I'd just gotten hung out to dry by Motorola, with 15 projects designed=20
using HC05's, and being
unable to get production parts for my clients.

In all that time MC has _NEVER_ failed me. Not even once. In return,=20
they have my loyalty, because
they EARNED it.
