I don't object!

Or take it as a total DIY project (circuit, sources, etc are free for
DIY). That is how I started: I started using an (almost) no-components
serial port programmer, using it to 'bootstrap' my programmer.

Or - when you don't feel like programming one PIC with - buy only a
programmed 16f628 and build the rest yourself.

That price is based on myself building one kit, if there these would be
sold in substatial numbers I could Olimex do the assembling and the
price would go way down.
