My country was banned from Sample system until 12/2003. Before that, when I was a beginner it was difficult for me to get an access to the new PICs (like 18F4320 in that time). Now, when they restored Sample support for Slovakia, I can finally experiment...
And that's why I strongly advice everyone to order only what you need, not what you want just to have sitting on the self... Samples are a great service that Microchip offers for free, Nobody should abuse it.
