AVR-Chat

Yeah I got the mine from DigiKey for $35.

Well since I'm just doing this as a hobby.
So I don't know when I'll use this again after this project.
So affordable equals dirt cheap LOL :p

So for the basic use I have I guess the Pololu AVR ISP should do what I need just fine?

Hopefully DigiKey will give me a refund and not just a credit.

Thanks for the input.

You can beat that price: 

AVR ISP II is about $35 at Digikey. 
Pololu AVR ISP is $20 (emulates AVR ISP II with other cool stuff). 
AVR STK500 is $80 at Digikey both parallel and ISP programmer. 

Those are all what I consider very affordable.
