Thank You, Electronic Surplus

I want to dedicate this post to Electronic Surplus, because they just sent me a 40-character, 2-line display from them as a give-away. It was advertised on my favorite podcast, the Amp Hour, a couple months back, and I had nearly forgotten about it by the time this beauty showed up in the mail.

I'm not sure what I'm going to ultimately use it for yet. I actually haven't even gotten it up and running. It's a tad too big to fit in my power supply, so I guess I'll just have to wait for another project to come along before I put it to use. In the meantime, though, one of my buddies challenged me to run the countdown sequence from Predator on it, so that's another thing on the to-do list. I'll be sure to post results as soon as I have that up and running.
