yes they are dinosaurs of a superior breed, TFT displays are something else too.

a neat thing about these LCDs is that there is a display buffer that holds the alphanumeric, but no need for the buffer to write to the display. the buffer can be written to and read from as if its memory [bcz it is!]

Yeah, those TFT displays like ILI9341s are robust! You can tear the displays off of their backlights without bothering them at all.

Try it - they're what, $5 each?

Also, what's a good alternative to imgur besides S3 et al? It's getting annoying.
