Hi there,
      I am new to this list. I am looking to get started with PICs. I
have some experience with the BASIC STAMP II, but want to move to more
capable hardware. I was thinking of purchasing the Hobbyist Pack from
Parallax Inc, however, I have also seen TONS of different
programers/compilers/etc all over the net. I was just wondering if
anyone has any advice of which to buy. Should I try to piece together
all the hardware/software that I need from various vendors, or would it
be easier to just buy the package from Parallax. Money is a
consideration, but at the same time, I want to be able to jump into the
designing/programming relatively quickly. Just curious...

Thanks,
Steve
