Make sure that you initialize your variables at the beginning of your code.  If
your program reads something from RAM in the beginning of your code there is no
telling what is in that RAM address so you need to clear all of the RAM addresse
s you will be using in the beginning of your code.  Of course, if you will be wr
iting something to a particular address some time before you read it that is O.K
.

This is especially true from windowed chips.  The light can put weird things int
o your RAM.

 longer works...i would assume that this is because the eeprom is still holding
the previous address accessed and wont forget that address until it is set to a
different one or power is removed??
