AVR-Chat

Thanks Ralph and Richard.  Those are both in the right price range.  
I'll look at the demos.

For boards, though, I'm going to have to stay a bit closer to home.  I 
use AP Circuits for quick turn and Advanced Circuits for higher 
quantities when time allows and I need niceties like solder mask and 
screen prints.  I try others from time to time, but just to keep 
everyone honest.
