As much as I bow to Mr. Tait for his great programmer, I'm thinking that =
it's=20
run it's course and it may be time for me to upgrade.  I still can't veri=
fy=20
PIC's after programming, and it may be the programmer HW, software, PC po=
rt,=20
or a combo of these, but I'd like consider this from the standpoint of a=20
fresh slate.  Would love to hear what's available nowadays that will meet=
 the=20
following needs...

- Devices: 12F, 16F, 18F minimum.
- Interface:  Serial or parallel preferred.  USB may be an option.
- Software:  Anything Linux.  Would also be nice if it worked with MPLAB =

Win2k.
- Cost: Lower =3D better, but no hard budget/limit set.
- Availability:  Homebuilt preferred, though I'll consider others.  Yes, =
I=20
mean my home :-)

Cheers,
-Neil.
