Kat,
Hope I'm not intruding -- as I see it the only reason to use a Stamp is for
rapid
turn of small control function applications where execution speed is not an
issue
by those folks who aren't necessarily skilled at programming micros.
As a mid-range recommendation: for maximum flexibility per buck get a PICStart
programmer and one of the several (less expensive) HLL compliers for the PIC
parts.
BTW: Atmel's version of the 8051 flash parts are also easy to code/implement,
plus, the programmers are dirt cheap and freely available on the net.
Sorry to hear of your Parallax troubles -- they used to source such great
stuff. :(
