Or advertising? Or the DNC blocking out or replacing ads on your glass of your TV? What is really in that slushy drink
you just consumed? How about that "innoculation" hypo?

It sure would be hard to find a bug or minature camera if it were transparent.

Ever try to find a giff or a jpeg that is blank? I ended up at some college site in Chile or something....

The first transistors I worked with were placed inside little light-tight metal cases, one transistor per case. The the one transistor was mounted to a circuit board about 3 inches across. Then several of these boards were attached to a larger circuit board which were in turn plugged or wired into a massive cable. The transistors were in light-tight cases because they were sensitive to light. They could have been the open or inside clear cases, same difference, they would not work as intended.

I hadn't looked before, but I sure was going to try...

Well, there sure aren't many. I found a few without the border, but I could do the same thing with the BR tag. Didn't find many with the border.
