    From Jeff Gaines@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 30 23:10:33 2023
    I have been looking at mobo reviews and I can't believe my eyes. They have sections on the aesthetics of the board (one board lost points because it
    was white) and whether or not it runs flashing LEDs.

    I know I am ancient but seriously?

    I recently bought some memory sticks without realising that they have a flashing rainbow LED show when they are powered up :-\

    Last time I bought a case I found it quite hard to get one that didn't
    have a transparent panel in the side to show off the mood lighting on
    the mobo.

    Yeah, sad.

    I suppose the case makers think that anyone who wants to build their own
    PC rather than buying Dell/HP/Lenovo must be an incurable geek who will appreciate that kind of thing.

    A sad reflection of the modern world where Microsoft leads the way in removing/hiding functionality in favour of making things pretty.

    This joke was so funny when I heard it for the first time I fell of my dinosaur.
