Post by thread:the PIC archive

Hi Sam Nice site! I would prefer that for JAL you put (instead of or in addition to the copy of the jal.zip) a link to my JAL page: there is somewhat more than the jal.zip itself and it saves you the copying of every new version.... I have a 16x84 programmer design at http://www.xs4all.nl/~wf/wouter/pic/wisp. At http://www.xs4all.nl/~wf/wouter/pic/djo/e_index.html I have a set of assignments around the 16x84 and JAL (and wisp, but that is not essential) meant for 12-18 year old memebers of the local electronics club. I think that you should make clear what you mean to be put in the links section, I think only links to large sides should be put there, smaller sides should be linked directly to the various projects. This is how it is currently, but is is not pointed out. Mayby you should add a 'beginners' section. There are not many sides/pages aimed sqarely ate the beginner (how do I by my first pic, build the programmer, program the pic to flash a LED). Oh, when I click on one ofe the items in the site administration I can make a nice email in Netscape, but I do not use N for email..... Mayby add the email address in plaintext so it can be copied easily to a mail program? regards, Wouter.

Thanks. I agree with pretty much everything you have said, and I will br doing as you say regarding Jal, expect changes on the next update (Sunday). I have previously looked at your site and i liked the kinda content there, I will link to some of the stuff or store it locally since i belive it would make a good addition ICQ: 10061444 Web: come.to/thepicarchive E-Mail: .....sampowelKILLspam@spam@globalnet.co.uk Hi Sam Nice site!

So many hits show that you just cant afford to not visit the PIC archive.

I think that Tony has done many things to help the PIC community,including making some of his software available free. In return, I don't see why it is a terrible difficulty to allow him to suggest his products as aids for newcomers once in a while. He is certainly not the only one that does it,and I for one find such periodic product pointers a great help.

It is PIC products 2. The more PIC resources the better 3. Tony contributes a lot to the list. I know this might be selective morality and some give an inch and take a mile but wayyyyy OT's are a bigger hassle. Oh by the way.. the other lists with strict rules.... SUCK! Thery're boring and plastic and are like sitting through obscure maths/physics lectures. _____________________________ Lance Allen Technical Officer Uni of Auckland Psych Dept New Zealand _____________________________

Hello Les, In the few months that I have been a subscriber to this list I have seen many posts by Tony Nixon of Pic-n-Poke ... and I cannot remember one that wasn't informative and helpful. His posts and his site at http://www.picnpoke.com are valuable assets of the PIC community, and I for one, value his presence on this list! When you receive posts that you're sick of hearing, I suggest that you UTFDK!

Tony's mentions of his software are always in answer to someone's question about how to solve a problem. His package is a bargain. There's no way he could make enough to pay for the time he has sunk into this. He's only trying to be helpful, and I for one appreciate it. Reg Neale

We should be looking at the quality of the response not just the contents at the end. Put up with advertising from a select small group of excellent responderes, else the end result is to gag these people from providing information in a two way format, and alas you will remove the minds of the greater and expose youself to the simplistic world of the ant.

Hey now, Tony is a long time contributor to this list. I think he's paid his dues. It's called a plug and any entrepreneur worth his salt will seize opportunities as they arise. I don't think Tony's getting rich anyway. In another thread, he's giving away a very useful piece of SW. Keep on PIC'n, Tony.

I'll add to the chorus. Tony didn't deserve that. If Les were correct about what the PICLIST was "designed for", then I suppose we all should refrain from talking about what we do for a living. That should leave lots of bandwidth to talk about... uhh... hmmmm... well... anybody got any ideas? --Bob On Wed, Sep 08, 1999 at 09:08:18AM +1000, Tony Nixon wrote: {Quote hidden}> les wrote: > > > > Tony will you please refrain from using this list for personal advertising, > > that is not what it was designed for!. > > I am sick of hearing about PicnPoke > > > > My appologies, I try not to post these messages to the list and most of > the time I reply to the author personally.
