I do have to agree with you here Olin. I specifically designed the TLVP so
that the programmer would take a limited amount of time and money to put
together. An afternoon tops for getting the parts, assembling and testing
the programmer, and programming your first chip. It's trivial on purpose.

But you still need to realize that there are hobbyist and students whose time
is infinitely less valuable than money (which they usually don't have).
For them it probably is still worth the effort to roll their own.
