I have one of these - best buy I ever made. Delivery time to 
Australia was about a week.

I did a lot of research on educational boards before putting my money 
towards this board. This is the most professional and fully featured 
board I found and the price is excellent.

The quality of the board is awesome and it is extremely easy to use. 
All you need is a USB cable (included) and it is up and running (No 
external power supply required but if you want to you can use an 
external supply). PICFlashUSB is the application you use to program 
via the USB cable.

Mikroelektronica also produce software (A version of Basic and 
Pascal). This is a very new product but is being expanded/developed 
on a daily basis. The Basic has just been upgraded to include a 
programmer so you don't even need to leave your development 
environment. The company is extremely responsive to feature requests.

As you can tell, I am a very happy camper. I am not affiliated in any 
way with this company - just a satisfied customer.




Best Regards





Steve
