    Phil,

    I bought a cheap (hooks up to parallel port) programmer from:
            http://www.dontronics.com/prod.html
    It and the PICALL software are like USD$65 assembled. Works with nearly
    any PIC chip.
    Also, check out "mplab" which is a free assembly language dev
    environment available from www.microchip.com.
    If you are doing a lot of fooling around and testing, buy a couple of
    PICs that are eeprom based. Erase them with a high-intensity UV light.
    Cheaper in the long run than the burn once, throw aways.

    cheers,

    - Frank
