Evan, I would say: do not boot your PC with Pickit2 connected to the USB. Why? because there are chances to end with corrupted firmware. It happened once. Fortunately having an old programmer and the firmware may solve this possible issue. Pickit2 seems better than pickit3. Pickit4 is better than any previous ( maybe because it's Atmel based ? :P ) but its software stinks^3.
