If you add a few leds and logic to check for andsso when 2 adjacent ones
light, the new middle one lights up instead. This allows 5 to 7 codes
plus off. Enough for a KITT light (add the capacitors. Counter is done
on software, maybe make it a load meter) :-P

Come to think of it, a heartbeat light like on HPs would be kinda neat.
Love a machine with blinkenlights. Maybe you could recycle the capslock
light since capslocks are useless anyway =)
