I encourage newcomers, especially those new to electronics and
breadboarding, to use the Duemilanove, since most tutorials and examples
you encounter will use this, reducing translation hurdles.
Disclosure: I sell Duemilanoves, so might be considered biased, but the
reason I sell them is for this very reason.
Duemilanoves are $30 each which includes tax. Pickup at my workshop in
Berkeley or we arrange to meet either where I teach (SFSU, CCA
(Oakland), Crucible, and AiCA), or elsewhere in SF or East Bay.
