    There's an obscure API function for finding that out.

    You'll have to come up with much better lines than that if you want a photo.

    I did do that one earlier, but I'm so tired I forgot to photo it.

    Look, why don't you guys just come up with a big list of phrases you want over the next few hours (while I'm asleep) and I'll generate them all tomorrow.

    You're doing me a big favour by testing my driver code, so I'm grateful. Go wild.

    Sure, Woss, put this on your display:
    Ñæ►Ü╟L

    And I want it scrolling and backlit. Although I'm not sure why you would need to create a driver, most of those displays come on pcb's with the driver chip; you only have to connect up the data and power lines.

    I shall try, although my camera does do movies, they are stored in Quicktime format and are therefore the largest files known to man. So I'll have to do a still image and you'll have to take it on trust.

    This is the character set I'm limited to...


    Should be able to do a mean game of Space Invaders...

    Just seeing these screens is the most fun I've seen in ages. I definitely want to go into electronics.

    I'd even go as far to say this is better than the cats and the cheeseburgers and such.

    I'm currently trying to steal that screen. If that fails, I will be forced to learn how to do electronics.

    Bah! How life complicates everything.
