    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Sorry it took so long for me to catch
      this email -- got squirreled away into the junk folder...<br>
      <br>
      I tend to use Atmel Studio to do my programming, so the best
      programmer I use is the Olimex AVR-ISP-MK2 (DigiKey part #
      1188-1008ND, ~$35).<br>
      <br>
      Lady Ada has a kit version she sells for around $20 (Adafruit ID #
      46).<br>
      <br>
      I also have used avr-gcc/AVRdude toolchain to program, but I like
      the Atmel Studio best.  (WinAVR is the avr-gcc/AVRdude for
      MS-Windows, and the underlying chain for the Arduino IDE).<br>
      <br>
      That said, I have showed off some smaller AVR programmers I got
      from various sources:<br>
      Pocket AVR Programmer from Sparkfun (# PGM-09825, $15),<br>
      USBasp open-source design -- can be had from:<br>
      -  Pololu (part # POL1300, $20)<br>
      -  ProtoStack (part # AC-PG-USBASP, ~$18)<br>
      -  SainSmart (thru Amazon # B0051SRZWC, $10.50)<br>
      -  SunKee (thru Ebay # 1394478591, $7.00)<br>
      some of which you will want to get a 10pin-to-6pin adapter (see
      each site).<br>
      <br>
      {Note I cross-posted this to the TriEmbed list as well, since
      there is interest there as well}<br>
