Good suggestion, I'll look into picking a couple up.

Thanks to everyone on their ideas and suggestions.

If this is a hobby or low volume project, don't waste time with the
lesser
members of a PIC family.  In this case use the 16F876.  It's useful to
develop with this even if it ends up being a high volume product.  Once
you're done, you can figure out exactly which lesser member of the
family
will do.
