In late 1986 I sat with a friend at his home, who worked for an
electronic form programming elevators. He had these small plastic
drawers, each filled with different electronics. One was full of red,
another with green and I think a third with yellow LEDs. I asked if there
weren't any blue for additive color mixing. He said "no" and that they'll
probably never will exist. He tried me to explain why but that was way
over my head. And wrong anyway, as we know today.

Was a good time. I wore a dead 6502 around my neck after drilling a hole
in. We sat there, having beer, programming 6502 assembly and he soldered
stuff together.
