Further excerpts from e-mail correspondence about super-bright LEDs:

     To: reid@gold.bacs.indiana.edu
     From: "John Halleck, Postmaster" <NAHAJ@miriam.utah.edu>

Somebody... claimed that HP had high-brightness LED's for 
only 20 cents or so.  I called HP and asked.

They deny the rumor... although I was not the first one to ask.

The information below comes from their salesman [name deleted].

The only basis in fact of the rumor is that the HLMP4101 is a 1000mcd 
LED and has been around as long as the rumor.  They are $1.10 in 
quantity of one.  Brighter ones are not currently availiable, but they 
claim that they will have a new line of them in June.   The sizes in 
June will be 2000mcd, 3000mcd, 5000mcd, 8000mcd (!), and (!!!) 
12000mcd (!!!!). The prices for the 2000 and 3000 look to be about 
$2.00 each in quantity one.

I talked to six people at HP, and unless the part number is SO obscure 
that the sales staff (here and in Colorado) has never heard of them, 
and can't get the number, or ... The fellow did not know what he was 
talking about.
