The display I've selected, for size versus cost, is a 2 line x 8 character transflective LCD with
yellow-green LED backlight. It's an array of 6 tiny LEDs, so we are talking 100,000hr on time
minimum. The backlight is SW controlled, you can turn it off if you like.

The jacks ARE screwed onto the panel with washers and a nut. There is a cosmetic difference: the
threaded part is black. The nut and washer are silver as before. These are better quality than
the Moogerfooger/Voyager uses :) Somebody (besides me) with an Expressionist A/B the 'feel' and
report back.

I'm still pondering it. There are 17 (!) jacks on this thing (added Ext Clock In for the Arpeg.).

Totally wrong. I'll explain more later.
