No reason a dumb blaster won't work, just takes some time to get  
going. The ones driven directly by the serial port also have pretty  
limited range if that's a factor to you.

Whether to go with the smart blaster pretty much depends on whether  
you have more money or time to spare.

BTW - I appreciate the compliment, but you transposed the 'a' and the  
'i' in my name :-)
