  Thought I'd ask. (Also I second the use of the Radio Shack LED's -
they have Red 5000mcd IIRC, Yellow 8000 mcd units also, though it IS
Radio Shack, and you can't always guarantee they'll have 'em in stock.
I have a local store where I know the purchasing agent, she stocks
anything I need, I just have to give her a call in advance & Jody calls
me when it's in...)  Think a LED flashlight on these things - I'm
considering an array of 15 for a wheelchair headlight with ultra long
life & no chance of vibration breaking the filamnts.  You DO need to
keep the lens clean or you'll reduce light output by up to 50%...

One "feature" with LED illumination that makes it very
good for some applications but not so good for general
purpose illumination is that the light is nearly mono-
chromatic (white LED's excepted).  Although shining a
yellow LED on a white surface may produce illumination
that LOOKS about the same as red+green, it's almost im-
possible to see the color of objects lit with the single
LED.

It's possible that using red+yellow+orange would provide
enough different wavelengths of light to provide some
useful color perception, but I would not rely on any
single LED color to do so.

PS--I think I found another thingie I needed to uncheck
in Messysoft OutToLunch.  Is the WINMAIL.DAT thing gone
(at last)?
