Heh, been doing binary math for the past two weeks and my brain was stuck on
Meg = 2^20 :)  10^6 is much easier and makes more sense, glad you guys
corrected me on that one...

16F84 manual doesn't even have the bit settings for the prescalars, I had to
assume the values, although it was in the mid-range reference manual... It
also says nothing about the watchdog timer being affected by the prescalar
assignment, it's absolutely terrible in it's information actually... I don't
ask until I've tried all other avenues :)
