[TriLUG] RE: This is what happens when a OS company, shoots itsself in the foot (MS Vista)

You might wanna increase the resistor to 1 k Ohm.  60 mA is a little fat for
a LED.

So, is Google landing in NC soon?  I told Vint last week that I'd personally
roll out the red carpet for him if they choose Raleigh.

Regards,

Jim
