http://www.doityourselfchristmas.com/wiki/index.php?title=PIC_Programming_Hints has problems

I was having troubles getting a Pickit working on a program port I had added to a design. I double checked Pickit pinouts and programming connectors and I found an issue in the WIKI. It says:

Pin 1 of Connector - unused
Pin 2 of Connector - Pin 12 of socket
Pin 3 of Connector - Pin 13 of socket
Pin 4 of Connector (GND) - Pin 14 of socket
Pin 5 of Connector (VCC) - Pin 1 of socket
Pin 6 of Connector (VPP) - Pin 4 of socket

But the Pickit connector is LABELED BACKWARDS in this description. It should read:

Pin 6 of Connector (Aux) - unused
Pin 5 of Connector (CLK) - Pin 12 of socket (RA1)
Pin 4 of Connector (Data)- Pin 13 of socket (RA0)
Pin 3 of Connector (GND) - Pin 14 of socket (Vss = 0v)
Pin 2 of Connector (VCC) - Pin 1 of socket (Vcc= +5)
Pin 1 of Connector (VPP) - Pin 4 of socket (RA3)

There is also a mistake on the picture- the labled pin 1 on the connector is actually pin 6. If you look closely at the Pickit sitting there, you will see where pin 1 is because it is marked on it. I think someone wassuffering from dyslexia when they did the page...

It looks great- thanks Brian, I like the edit job on the picture- nicely done!!! Glad I could help to keep some other poor sucker from getting frustrated trying to use that. I would have edited it if I had the permissions but I am just a peon in the grand scale of blinky things, and probably dangerous also if you believe some other sites....
