    It's all a bit academic anyway, what with the advent of compact florescent lights. Black and brown look the same as do orange and red. They should just print numbers on them rather than so called 'different' colours, even if it would take a magnifying glass to read them. Anyway men can't identify more than about 3 different colours.

      Yeh. I used to do electronics as a hobby until about 1986 when components stopped being proper man's things. A real man's hobby should involve large tools and lots of bashing. Still got a proper butch digital frequency meter I made, 1.2Mhz, nice big LED display, lots of 7490s and stuff with no silly letters on the end and the house lights dimmed whenever you plugged it in.
