I installed it once. I then spent the next three weeks cleaning it off my
machine, piece by piece.

My biggest bitch with the BBC website, is that they use RealPlayer for the
listen again service. I've not noticed any nasties, what should I be looking
for?

Just put a bit of electrical tape over those LEDs.

Won't work. One led is on the button that controls BT (on/off) and
another one is halfly on the front of the laptop. Practically electrical
tape won't hold even on one of these places (and the solution would be
incredibly ugly, especially when all other stickers got to go when the
laptop was brand new).

Nnope, it would take a bunch of time to find out how much and what paint
I'd need to make the blue leds tolerable and one of them still visible
(there still is the informational value). It really is easiest to just
remove one and change another of the leds.
