Thanks for the good advice, Maarten, and I have filed it away for future 
reference.  However, I  think that you answered a question that I have 
not asked (yet).  I am nowhere near the stage of thinking about a 
programmer for the PIC, but only at  the stage of wanting to go through 
some very basic tutorial material and read about how the hardware works 
and how the software works.  I know that at some point I will have to 
get a programmer, but it would be foolish, IMHO, to get one so early 
when I do not even know the basics yet. 

So the question was:  Which of  these tutorials would you recommend?

Thanks a lot,
Bill
