Uploading code: FTDI versus 'Using Programming'

Soooo that means if after I upload a sketch using the programmer option, I want to switch to FTDI, that would require re-burning of the bootloader, correct?

Correct bootloader is gone. But the FTDI is still functional for performing serial comm to the IDE serial monitor or a PC app.

Hmm ... this poses an interesting challenge. The code I just discovered which would work great for me, requires those few seconds to listen for serial data. If I blow away the bootloader, "I be skrewed!"

Are you sure, what code are you speaking of?

Cool, time for some more research!
