This could lead to a new crib-sheet test cheating method!  Just burn the
key into your retina, then just copy down the afterimage answers. :^)

Back to a more comp.graphics related topic, I seem to recall reading about 
a new manufacturing technique that will be used to make large color LED
screens.  Current models are about 5 inches, but the new ones can be much
larger, and could be used for way-high-res screens.  I can't remember which
tech mag I read it in, though.  Maybe EDN?  I don't recall it mentioning
whether they were analog or pulse driven.
