lol..no offense to the great aussie bastards....i love ya....but as far as
"something ne" goes , i have so many ideas all the time, i think they are my

Unused INPUTS on integrated circuits should be connected either to
ground or to Vcc (whichever is more convenient). Unused outputs should
be left open. You can often get away with leaving the inputs
unconnected, but more than one BEAMer has had problems that disappeared
when he/she attached the inputs to one of the supply lines.
You rarely see this little detail on any schematics (just as you rarely
see the 0.01 uf capacitor that should be connected between the two
supply lines). It's common practice to leave them out because A) it's
assumed everyone knows these little design details, and B) you might
want to use the extra unused devices for something else.
