Thanks!  A power supply.  I've been getting around that by using the +5 =
from the Pic demo board to drive most things, and rechargeable bat trees =
for motors and things needing more current.  But that's a good idea, and =
not so costly.

I've got also got a PC power supply.  I wonder if I could make my own =
from that...  I'm sure I've run across something describing that on the =
web.

I'd vote for a desktop power supply (CCCV, with meters.)  Scope after
that, if you have the money.  If you're cheap, get at least one
additional multimeter (need not be a "nice" one.)  assuming you already
have a collection of solderless breadboards...
