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. Dbfirs 11:39, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- Yes just get on with it. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:45, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
