Can you give a reference to this article? I'd be interested in looking at it.
I called one company and was given a $15-$30 dollar quote if I remember right.

By the way, don't somebody make LCD TV's that have pretty good pictures?
(I remember seeing a miniature one in a store, but it's reception was bad,
so it's picture was too.)

I would like to find a dot matrix display panel. LED would be cool, although
LCD would be just fine. If anybody can direct me to a catalog or company etc.
where I can find such things, please let me know.

Thanks,

Dan
