I just bought that (should be shipping Monday, whoopee 
) and opted for the ZIF socket. If you read the Uberdata thread it is deemed a worthwhile investment.

I bought my burner from the same guy. He's a good shipper. He ships fast. He can add the ZIF and he even sold me some 27C256 chips ! And the power supply and everything!

Yeah I picked up the ZIF and the power supply... I'm fairly hyped about this program
Can somebody explain exactly how a ZIF works, and why it's better? The guy at the electronics shop I went to said the ZIF has a less positive contact, so less accurate.
I just wish I didn't have to do all this wiring and buy a new distributor and stuff

Using a normal IC Socket you have to push the chip in, and force it out.
ZIF stands for Zero Insertion Force.
A ZIF socket has a little lever. Lift the lever up and it releases the chip, push lever down and it holds the chip.
Definately recommended

Re: (T-RO)
hmm, doesn't say that burner supports 29c256 chips, or does it? I've been hearing from people in the uberdata thread that the 29c256 chips are the best to use. true/false? I wanna make sure I use the best chip and burner combo so that I wont have any errors or problems when writing.

Yea deffintly worth it.
It is basicly a clamp with a lever to clamp and release the chip.
