  From the sounds of it, everyone at Parallax is very busy all of the time!

  Patience ... it's only mid-June. If you haven't already, go through the existing C tutorials on the <learn.parallax.com> website.

  We appreciate your patience; chapters 1-6 are on the verge of initial release as a PDF-only format. All major editing is now finished and it's in the hands of our final reviewers.

  I worked my way through Chapters 1-6, trying to relearn C (for about the fourth time since the mid-80s).
  I think it is a good introduction to C on the Activity Board.
  I was a little surprised that you didn't introduce the keyword #define, but rather used all literal I/O pin numbers. Good programming practice and all like that...
  In Button-ReactionTimer, the comment on          pause(1)should, of course, be    //pause 1 millisecond

  @tomcrawford - Thank you for noticing that typo. I will add it to our edits list.

  I spent some time going back through Chap 1-6 and came up with the attached list of comments. Some are nits, some reflect personal taste, and a few relate to real errors. I hope you will find them useful. tc
