Why they don't come on braille?
(I Remmember: In the 80's a group of radio hams did a multimeter in morse
for a blind old man)
I prefer colors. For developing, big white letters and numbers on the
chips,... not that laser etching. I usualy put some liquid paper over it,
and the written thingy comes up.

ok, what's next?
imperial measures? resistors scales?,... I think we already talk about
that... just in case:)
