[Elecraft] OT: PIC programming hardware and software information

[Lee Buller]

I know there are a lot of you people who are into PIC programming and I am looking at doing so.

After reading for many hours in the Internet, I have become awash in PIC programming hardware and software.  I need someone who is knowledgeable to recommend something to me to get into this field.  Requirements are:

I would like to build it myself (DIY)
USB or RS232
No Parallel
I would like to program 18F stuff but others would be good too.
Software?

Thanks.  You can email be direct if you would like since this is a little off topic here.
