Hi, I've been offered a new laptop at work which doesn't have a serial port. Does anyone have experience using the Picstart+ programmer with a USB<->RS-232 converter? I'll just keep my present laptop if it doesn't work... Thanks, Matthew. -- You can drive out nature with a pitchfork, but it always comes roaring back again. -- Tom Waits (attr.
