* Super-Excellent idea, Steve. A showy visual display just might win
over the "real radios glow in the dark" gang. Hmmmmm, lets see, with
high-intensity LEDs, it should be possible to make a 800-LED array
screen-shunt regulator for an 8170 that could probably be seen from
2-miles away. Would this be impressive or what? And if this screen-reg.
was mounted on top of the tower -- totally kick-butt awesome.
