<nonsense> As long as this doesn't mean a 50.000 kilo locomotive will ride over my keyboard, it is fine with me.
Oh, and I don't want to destroy the American dream, but blinking lights on railroad crossings even exist in the poorest countries in Africa... Or do the Americans even have a patent on the blinking speed ? :-P
Sidenote: you can't speak of "the middle", the LED ordering is free :) At least here in Europe... </nonsense>
Besides, I'd like to see some beeps (not too annoying please) besides the blinking. Sometimes while debugging KGI I don't even notice the kernel entered kdb (also blinking LEDs, and kdb shows up on a remote terminal). Also: servers will usually have keyboard switches, making the blinks unnoted. But I assume that has been said before.
