	You want to talk about overkill in blinking lights...  I have an
8749 that runs 16 different patterns on a string of 16 LEDs.  The catch is
you do have to run a wire to each one.  But that wasn't good enough.
	The mark 2 light blinker is a 68000 that can do 60 or 70 different
effects on a 16 by 64 array of LEDs.  I use this as part of a halloween
costume.  Of course with only 1024 solid state relays it would be possible
to run an array of Christmas bulbs.
