Hey-

I'm a beginner too, but I've been looking at the Seiko Character LCDs ..
they range from $11-$23 so they aren't THAT expensive.  I saw them in the
Mouser catalog (just look in there, I think it's the only brand of LCD they
sell).  From their datasheet it doesn't look difficult to interface with but
it requires alot of pins.  (Of course, I was planning on using a shift
register so I could use less pins)

   Can anyone recommend a some what inexpensive LCD for a beginner to
interface to a PIC16F8A?

    Also anyone have any suggestions for getting an EPIC programmer from ME
Labs to work with MPLAB 6.10? Is this even possible? I have checked google
but I haven't found much.

Thanks.
