Thanks from me too Bean,
Having video output code as an option on the SXes is a wonderful contribution.
One really has to want to study quite a bit to get started from scratch with video.
This really offers using old TVs and Monitors as workbench devices or home control stations.

I have a project that I need to get started, a frequency counter.  I was just looking as some frequency counter code and apparently the SXes will count 50Mhz with +/- 4 hz resoulution by using the RTCC pin.  That is a $3 chip instead of the Propeller which is a $25 chip.

I was wondering  if I have an LCD will clearly display that  all those digits [10 digits wide with commas].  
On the other hand, video can often handle 25 lines of 40 characters each.
And I can add title and read it without my glasses.  I can add menus too.

Actually you are being quite generous as you might keep all that knowledge to yourself and just tout your board which can do this and a bit more.  With including a serial interface in the program , I can have BasicStamps doing all sorts of thing that I can watch.
