Thanks guys. It does make sense what are you saying about the costs and non
open design + firmware. Was just looking around as with ICD2 and even with
PicKit2 sometimes can find a very interesting modified hardware.

BTW here in the UK an ICD 3 is starting at about =A3120 and PicKit 3 is fro=
m
about =A330 -- so it seems to me that ICD 3 is 4 times more expensive, but =
as
you guys said it still worth it as I have never heard of any good things
about PicKit 3.

Thanks,
Tamas
