Because it takes 30 minutes to burn the chip using the PC-1G from
olimex, and it takes 1 second to load with a bootloader. :)

If you see the other post I just made, I found the problem was that I
wasn't tying up the MCLR pin, so it wasn't resetting on power-on.

So then, why do you need a bootloader in the
first place ? How do you get the bootloader into
the F88 ? And iIf that process is stable, why not
just use that for all programming ?
