I managed to mess up the bootloader on my Arduino. All I get when uploading is a verification error. Not sure what I did to cause it, it just stopped working. So I ordered 3 Atmel 168's from a source that I thought I remembered reading shipped them with a bootloader. I tried to find the post again …

Need Bootloader!

Ladyada sells the chips with the bootloader at adafruit.com

She also sells an excellent USB programmer that will burn the bootloader in a jiffy.
