Pete,
I'm glad you found the ideas useful. I have a much larger proverb list
which I chose from for my proverb generator when I became short of
flash. I can let you (or anyone else) have it to play with. It includes
a lot of other sayings, almost duplicates and the "Way of Mrs
Cosmopolite" (Thief of Time, Terry Pratchett). Also here
http://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/index.php/The_Way_of_Mrs._Cosmopilite
I also have a few hundred proverbs in French (somewhere).
Did you use any compression for the text? I just about doubled the
number of proverbs I could fit in doing so.
I have a few 20x4 Itron display but I have been seriously distracted by
scope clocks. They requires just 5V and generate all the required VFD
voltages and multiplex signals, and have a simple parallel interface. I
was going to use a SD card for text storage as simple ascii files so
they could be edited on a PC and then the SD card transfered into the
clock/proverb. With just a 1 MB card that is almost "infinite" storage.
Cheers Grahame

single unused byte of EEPROM, which gives me great satisfaction.
