You're calling me a dud?- hah. And this just because I think most of
your design work is really ugly, like that horrific ambient light
detector using the LED display reverse leakage measurement.

I didn't design that, I just made it up. But why is the idea ugly (he
asks, rhetorically)? It could add adaptive brightness control to a
display with zero added sensors and zero added IC pins.

No, I think you're a dud because you never seem to have any fun. Do
you ever have fun?

Sorry, no
aesthetic dimension means no consideration. And I don't like any of the
panel layouts on your VME stuff either, so there.

Well, the guys with gigabucks to spend do like them. Have you seen our
new style?

This uses [1] a laser-cut stick-on polycarb overlay, with the led
windows backlit from some cool Osram right-angle surface-mount LEDs.
All our stuff will look like this over time. I agree that
past-generation VME modules, not just ours, tended to be ugly as sin.
