2 versions are available, Innovation FIRST, Inc. recommends 7.20 as the 7.22 version has some bugs in which the default code will not build?

Well, now I know I can get updated MPLAB IDEs without waiting until the CD comes with our kit
MPLABs has been free for a long time. It's the compiler that we have to pay for. FIRST released version 2.0(I think, someone correct me) to us. We still have to pay for it.

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
