Tal,

I stayed out of the El cheapo discussion since you already had a programmer.
Now I'll step back in. Before you move on elsewhere here are my suggestions:

1) Get a few 16F628 parts. Here's my page that describes why:

2) Build my Trivial LVP programmer. One chip. One resisitor. One parallel port.

3) Get David Tait's FPP. You can find the address on my TLVP page.

4) Enjoy.
