1.  Warp3 has 3 ZIF sockets (18 pin, 28 pin, 40 pin) as standard. Seeing
that ZIFs cost between 8 to 20 US dollars EACH, I figured that the cost for
Warp3 and PICStart was about the same cost, sans the hassle of changing the
socket.

2.  Ability to support all low and midrange PICs (16C5x, 16Cxx, 14000, and
12x).

3. Warp works through the serial port rather than the parallel port. I have
two serial ports, but only one parallel port that is used by the tape back
up and the printer.

4. Except for that problem few nights ago, I'm generally pleased with Warp3
and their software updates (use beta 10 instead of beta 3 or 3.10),
although they came out withe a new version that they claim is "better" at
12x support. And they are charging for it, too!

4. That's all folks.
