You are totally correct. I was just assuming that you
(or who ever asked about a programmer, I can't
remember) didn't want to buy anything and wanted to do
everything by yourself.

Of course, if you want to buy the chip or let someone
else program the PIC16 for you, then I'm sure this is
an excellent choice.
