Slog - Comments on FYI http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/fyi_1 If you need an LED processor and you are a person anywhere in the world, I am sorry. The world is out of LED processors right now. This I heard from a man who needs them to finish an artwork at Harborview Medical Center, where the new building at Ninth and Jefferson is having an art opening next Thursday....

If not, what is an LED processor?

I can assure you that the world is not out of LED's. I am also quite sure the world is not out of microprocessors.

I can also say that I am thoroughly confused as to what Jen is talking about.

Any PIC type chip will run these. Most anything will run these!

You are doing a disservice by passing along false info. Please correct.

Sorry for injecting a bit of non-snark into the discussion.

We're using OLEDs now, organic is the way to go!
