Zor0 writes - "I built this MP3 juke box a while ago and i'm looking for a way to add a small screen to it, preferably a small lcd that can show a few lines of text. I've seen several things on the make blog recently about interfacing these types of screens with microcontrollers, does anyone know of an easy way to run one from a serial port?" Link - post up in the forums!
