    I have a PiCSTART + that is I think around 8 years old. Still going strong and still supported. Upgraded it a time or two.
    So I do not think there are any worries with the PICKIT2.

    I hear about PICKIT 3, not sure how better/different it will be of PICKIT 2 (oh... it will be RED )... 'till now, it's just a 'dream'... to be released in January 2009.

    Their PICKIT 3 starter kit is listed at 20$ more than the PICKIT 2 Debug Express Kit... euh... mmm few assumption as they have now new and improved USB MicroController in their list: Improvements on actual performance and actual tools (Serial Comm, Logic Analyzer), more built-in tools such as Serial/protocol Analyser (seems their PICKIT Serial Analyser is a dead horse), maybe Scope, spectrum analyser, maybe signal generator... sort of... Let's read this post in January

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
