Neither, it just rhymes. Good luck to you.
Well thanks. But to be honest my previous comment was just a play on words, calling myself a vending machine and all. I dont have any plans to be a dispensary of either electronics or mobility devices of any sort, though the thought crosses my mind on a regular basis.
Now that we've got that out of the way I will share something I've noticed. A bit of a pet peeve if you will.
Do you shop much for led strips? Ever bought purple led strips and ended up with those awful pink-purple ones? I know its mostly my own OCD talking, but a simple search for 'purple led strips' gives you one of 3 things. UV strips which are typically labeled as such with the proper primary light output in nanometers, actual purple led strips which are fairly rare and in reality are simply blue leds with the slightest tinge of transparent red on the lenses of each individual LED, and those gawd awful (IMHO) magenta or lilac or whatever pink-purple leds which are in fact a bit brighter than true purple or UV but are horrible as they do a terrible job of living up to the word purple.
Its all marketing wank and deceptive practices. For the most part you dont truly know what you're getting until the package arrives.
I know, first world problems and all, but its one of those things that just irks me. If you're still reading my OCD rant, congratulations and I hope I've piqued your interest. There are just a few known vendors of actual purple LED strips and HobbyPartz.com is one of them. I know they dont have the best reputation and what they sell isnt exactly top shelf or even hobby quality Rc vehicles. But they do stock actual purple LED strips and for that I commend them.
If you have experience in this matter you'll know what I'm talking about. Look very closely at the pics of the product being sold. If its what I call true purple it will show up as a clear lens with just the faintest red tint on the LED lenses. Everything else is that horrible pink-purple and even Digikey.com stocks this awfulness.
If I ever win the lottery I will make it a personal vendetta to sue the likes of feebay, scamazon and even Digikey/Mouser/Jameco and any other vendor that doesnt know how to properly label their purple-ish led strips/products. Not for any significant amount, mind you, I would just sue them on principle to force some actual clear standards. Like pay me $5 and admit your mistake.
/rant off.
