Re: [oopic] oSerialL and oLCDSE

My personal opinion is that the oLCDSE was a bad idea - It really only
works with one of the SE displays, the others have different command
sets - And of course all of the other serial LCDs have different command
sets. I've just used oSerialL and written my own code. Since there is
a ton of space in the EEPROM to use in most cases, this isn't all that
much of a burden. We don't need to use any object space beyond the
oSerialL.
