Once I get started with > PICs, I hope to put up my own site with all the info that I used (or wished > I had.) David, I was in the same situation as yourself a while back. My recommendation to look at Don McKenzie's site at: http://www.dontronics.com His site has collated all the info you need and he can supply bare programmer boards, development boards, programmer software etc. I found his site and his service invaluable. I hope this helps. By the way I am not connected with him at all, just pleased with his service.
