Is it actually possible to totally brick an AVR chip that way? Can't you always recover them with high-voltage programming mode?

I don't know how many people have a high voltage programmer, especially the people that would choose an Arduino. I'm personally lucky to have found an AVRISP mkII that was being thrown away when I was a broke college student.

Either way, I'm saying that Arduino is _the_ microcontroller platform with the fewest gotchas for a beginner.
