Does anyone remember when there was no such thing as LED blue,
because nobody had figured out how to make them?  Then they
were available, but horribly expensive - your typical 25-cent
red or green LED cost $6 in blue.

And they're now a horrible mandatory fad.  Maybe it's just me -
my eyes never could focus on intense blue light - but I hate
the way they're now used everywhere an indicator is needed,
and in even more places where they're not.  I once ran a
sound board in a darkened theatre, and I had to put three
layers of masking tape over the board's bright blue pilot
light so I could see anything else at all.  Grrr...
