No prob, I think it's kinda fun sorting this stuff out. Course it is a lot easier to think about it than to actually do it

FYI, here is what the numbers part of the schematic *might* look like, I have no idea if it actually works. Basically you enable the numbers one at a time and turn on the corresponding segments for that digit only while it is enabled. Go through the digits fast enough and it looks like they are always on. An additional capacitor per segment/digit might help if there are brightness issues.
