I'm still around as well, usually checks in on the forum a couple of times per day. Have not moved to other platforms though I wish had the energy needed to learn C.
Not beacuse PBP doesn't do what I need it to for the 8-bit PICs but because for pretty much any other platform C is the standard whether I like it or not.

I can tell you though that without Darrels interrupt routines I would not be able to do much of the stuff I have been doing wit PBP. Of course we can't do anything but guess what PBP would've been without his work, would MeLabs have included similar functionallity in the compiler itself? Who knows. He is missed, that's for sure :-(

But all we can do is post questions, examples, projects and discuss. We, as a group, are what makes the forum what it is, relying on "someone else" won't work.
