Get OFF/ON this!


Back in the day, when 8-bit ruled, video game systems had a simple way of showing whether they were on or off. If they were on there was a light; if they were off there was NO light. Now system designers feel it's necessary to make things more complicated. If their system's on, then there's probably a green light, if it's on stand-by there's probably a blue. Off? well, probably a red. And if there's an error you'll get a blinking light. Geez...I can't wait 'til they add Morse code in these things. Eventually SOS will mean time for repair.
