[dba-VB] OT: PIC micro controllers

Is anyone here playing or working with PIC Microcontrollers?  I have been
interested in controller applications forever (in my previous life I was
into electronics), and in fact I designed a vending machine while I was
working down in Mexico that used a Z-World SBC.  I have discovered that you
can request engineering samples of these little beauties (PIC u controllers)
and am starting to gather the stuff to program them.  I was just wondering
if anyone else does this stuff.
