Talk:blinkenlights

RFD
Rfd-redundant: (computing, slang) The front-panel lights on old computers; status lights on a modem, router, network hub, and so forth.

Merge into ''(computing, slang) The flashing lights on an electronic device that typically serve no useful purpose. '', and perhaps fix up the definition a bit. -- Liliana • 00:15, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I would consider dropping "that typically serve no useful purpose". Even though this is a humorous term, it is quite rare for any device to have lights that do not serve a useful purpose, even if it is not obvious to non-experts. Then merge. Equinox ◑ 00:19, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, there is no implication of "no useful purpose" in the term. That's just an interpretation by people who don't know the purpose.  Support curtail & merge as per Equinox.    D b f  i  r  s   11:39, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
