Just as many other "new" parts, b.t.w. One have to check each part
for that feature.

OK. I understand.
No problem at all. The King of Sweden is dyslexic so you're in
good company. :-)

Now, of course I didn't know that and sorry of my post sounded a bit harsh.
But in 99 cases out of 100 when I see lazy typing, it's just that, lazy typing.
You was the 1 out of 100's, so, I'm realy sorry.

Now, is there any special reason to design your own programming
hardware and write your own programming software/firmware ?

As a PIC beginner, would it not be much, much easier to just get
one of those fine programmers out there ?

You might have good reasons to build your own designed
programmer, but most people havn't...
