12/24   what is the fascination that electronics manufacturers currently have
        with blue LEDs?  they're so bright and ANNOYING. (yes, electrical tape
        works...)
        \_ anyone who's done 3-5 work has an obsession with blue and green
           LED's, just because they are so impressed with themselves, but
           i don't think these poeple generally make marketing
           decisions, and 3-5 nuts hardly constitute a major target market,
           so my comment is really not useful.
        \_ With more efficient blue LEDs, a full-color graphics display
           can be achieved with red and green LEDs (which have been around
           for many years).
           \_ I mean manufacturers using blue LEDs by themselves in various
              consumer electronics gear.
              \_ It's Matrix-kewl?  Ask some marketing clown.  That's who
                 decides these things.
