        Yup, suffice it to say that you should NEVER do cross boarding
shipping
with UPS, I've been charged $35 in brokerage charges on an item worth less
then $100, and I'm not alone.

        No slight meant towards your creation but I personally prefer
programmers
that are as "bit banged" as possible, this means that support for new
devices only needs new software, not new firmware. I built my tait
programmer around 6 years ago and it's still going, because of it's
simplicity. TTYL
