There must at *least* be an external capacitor and resistor for the
RC clock to work...  (well, maybe some *stray* capacitance in a sloppy
layout would do the trick <GRIN>)

AFAIK, Only the 12C series and 16F62X sereies have a
*completely* internal RC oscillator, thus freeing up the OSC1 and OSC2
pins for other uses...

Hmmmmmm
