Das Blinkenlichten

Ah, a Slashdot Poll that warms my heart. Used to be that only expensive supercomputers had banks of blinking lights to show off their activity. Now every old electronic gadget has a rainbow of indicator lamps blinking, pulsing, and lighting up the room. Uncle talked about a big contract he just landed in Korea, where the lamps will go into... kimchee refrigerators. Apparently you gotta have lots of information on the environmental condition of your pickling cabbage.
