Beware of LCD datasheets, almost unbelievably, I haven't found one that is
100% accurate and I have similar concerns about web pages; I haven't found
one that has completely accurate information.

I want to add a page on my web site that does have accurate programming
information on Hitatch 44780 based LCDs - It's slowly creeping to the top of
my "todo" list.

If you spend five or ten minutes a day being totally unproductive, why don't
you take a look at "Uncle John's Giant 10th Anniversary Bathroom Reader"?
