Guys and Gals,

As I recall one of the two LED pins will have a "wide" area just below
the base of the plastic LED.  This signifies the polarity, but for the
life of me I can't remember whether is the anode or the cathode.  If
you'd like I'll check and get back to you.  I'd suggest a direct e-mail
so as not to clutter up the list.
