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.bloggoth
