Oh yes.... ;-)

I have a home made pellets burner in our cellar
<http://www.vscp.org/wiki/doku.php?id=the_hulk_ii_-_the_hulk_ii>
talking VSCP of course. If it fails it always when it's -30 Celsius
outside. Never when its around zero. Repairs is always panic. Still
fun though... ;-)

I agree that it's strange that Microchip does not go for a proper GPL
compiler. Will probably be forced to make one available eventually.

I use the 18F for a lot of projects, both for our in house development
nad for customers and use the their C-Compiler. Works good. Use ARM
for the higher end stuff and will probably skip the higher end PIC's
as it looks today.

This is the fun stuff! :)
