Eye wish Eye could say that Eye'm running a server from a potato in my pantry -- so that Eye could actively participate in this wonderful discussion.
But Eye just don't have the skillz to do that.
Eye can, however, have enormous respect for you amazing minimalists in this thread!

Will Microsoft ever learn that if it tries to force something down my throat, I will gag on it?
(Notice that I didn't bother to add a poll to this post.)
O.K., I'm done being negative today.

Hey #electronics and #ComputerTech #teachers, are you teaching #PIC or #Arduino #programming in your classes?

You can copy and re-mix our free, open, and completely re-editable PICmicro C Programming Reference Google doc! It includes sample code in PIC and Arduino C flavours. 😋

Get it here: bit.ly/C-Programming-Reference

Screen shot of the C Programming Reference open in Google Documents.
