presumablly the LCD issue is just a timing problem
though with "modern" 8ms refresh displays it should be less so.

actually i have heard of a few "other" devices using this sort of scheme.

seriously though if you were wanting to make a "programs all" device
that presumablly must be updatablle.
a USB powered programmer is going to wind up about the same price
and whats more theres plenty of them around.

PICaxe has its place but it seems to create a fair few problems
as soon as you try to do something more than flash LED's and the like.
