What the heck is an FPGA -- where can I buy one?

What sort of system do you need to experiment with them? How to program them?

Can you "load" if that's the right terms an FPGA using an ordinary mac or perhaps other *nix or windoze computer?

Where can I buy some FPGAs today to experiment with ??!

Are they expensive this only available to industry or can I buy one today?

Does anyone know about this? Thanks!

I have become interested in FPGAs after reading this question...
