The PIC (or other 'system on a chip' microcontrollers) allows hobbyists to
do things that are VERY hard to do with traditional discrete logic ICs
or transistor design. They can be used with those solderless breadboards,
and thus support very quick prototyping. They are simple to program,
and can be programmed in Basic, C, ASM, Forth, or 'wisp'. The hardest part
of the project is often the power supply (why they don't put a
voltage regulator on board is a real question).
