However, I don't know which programmer I should get. Is the PicStart Plus worth the money or should I get another type (or homebrewed). Also, what would you recommend for a good book? Easy Pic'n, maybe??? Thanks in advance _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
