He mentioned that to me, too, the first time I talked to him.

Before talking to Paul, I was thinking that I would build this huge modular
with all sorts of LEDs all over it (I was going to replace common red ones
with blue because I think they look cool, even though they're $5 a piece and
draw more power). But after Paul explained that the LEDs draw so much
current and can create noise in the power lines, I'm on an "LED=BAD!" kick.

Of course I trust that whenever Paul puts a blinky light on a module that
its purpose is not only just, but that it has been executed correctly.

As I recall, one of the first things Paul told me was "I
don't like flashing
LED's"
