Myke, was that an offer to take over as the editor of the
http://www.piclist.com/begin page? Please?

I must also say that I don't see building the ICD as all that
hard... given a good tutorial, pre-programmed chips and a ready
made PCB, but perhaps that would be a better SECOND step where a
basic programmer for the chip used in the ICD would be a better
FIRST step.

Finally, I can agree that all the existing programmers require
some effort on the part of the beginner, but I honestly don't see
that a new design could be any better. I would AGAIN encourage
people to improve, produce, or better document the EXISTING
designs. Please don't burn cycles re-inventing the wheel when
there are so many good designs that need better documetation,
examples, improvement and PCBs.
