Thank you 3db. I tried to tie in a few different seemingly related ideas and I hoped it didn't seem too scattered. I believe as a technology, the LED has come a long way from the little red lights on my Merlin portable game system when I was a kid. Hey... we didn't have those fancy PSPs in my day, it was Merlin and Coleco Football... I'm sure I'm not alone in having a long history together with LEDs.

hmm... come to think of it that might have been a good entry into the article. Anyone of my generation used to play with LED-based graphics all the time. I can still hear that dee-dee-dee, dee-de-dee that Coleco football made when you scored a touchdown.
