I have fond memories of soldering my own small Blinkenlight, a BlinkenLED, around 2005 as a kid. This was before the Raspberry Pi was around - it was just a 10x20 LED matrix controlled by 20 shift registers [0], connected to the serial port

Interesting, I never had this problem with a Cristal. With cheap marketing pens, sure, after some use, they leak and smear, and some of them seem to have only small amounts of ink in them.
