You must be one of the clever ones :-) I wish I had
$1 for every time I hear the clock fuse being messed up
or other ugly thing happening with PP programmers.

Having said that I too did start with a 4 resistor
PP programmer...but being clever did not mess anything up.

This was just to see if I liked AVRs on the cheap.

Once I knew it was real love I got an AVR910 programmer,
for which I also did some small improvements to the firmware.

But soon after it was an AVRISP, now also the Dragon.

Notice that all of the above except for #1 are all supported
by Studio, so there is no messing around, no cryptic fuse bits
to think about and get wrong.

But that's just me, I think the 30 bucks spent on an AVRISP is
money VERY WELL spent.
