Wow Ariba, you are showing your age[noparse]:)[/noparse]
Microchip was founded in 1989. That makes it twenty years old. That makes the PICs look brand spanking new from my end of the time telescope[noparse]:)[/noparse]
Certainly nowhere near one of the oldest.

For me, the past is not over yet.
Microchip was formed from a group that stemmed from a semiconductor division of General Instruments. The Design was made by General Instruments back at 1975. And I was already on this world then, but knew not much about Microcontrollers [noparse];)[/noparse]
