Kustaa has a point here. Remember, bypass capacitors are there to
provide current on very short notice for state changes and switching
transients within the chip. If the impedance of the power supply is too
high, as is likely the case with a nice long power cable on a "wall
wart" style power supply, a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor between Vdd and
ground close to the chip can literally make the difference between
working and not working.
