My electronic stapler has a status light on it

[se7en]

This thing has been on my desk since I moved into this office and I've never noticed this before. It's on the back so it isn't very useful at all but even on front what purpose could it serve?

It turns red when it staples which takes like half a second!! Now that I know I am burning through staples left and right just to see if I can make it miss a blink :beer:

How awesome is that!

To let you know it's on so you don't do anything stupid.

Double penetration with every stapling. :shocked:

Congratulations, you have an ADA compliant stapler. The red light lets deaf people know it's working. The light is on the back of the stapler because deaf people are apparently also retarded.

Shens. Everyone knows that modern useless lights are all blue, because it makes normal things look cool as shit.

I'm amazed by the technological innovations being discussed in this thread. I've got a 25-year old, no-name stapler on my desk that barely staples anything anymore no matter how hard you bash the shit out of it.

You guys have depth-sensing, laser-guided, surround-sound, ADA-compliant staplers? WTF? Why don't I have cool office stuff like you?

Well, my whole stapler is red, and it stays that way all the time.

My stapler's from the 30s or 40s, and It outperforms anything made today. It also works when the power goes out :^P

Edit:
Here's an ebay listing that shows my stapler in case you kids want to see what a real stapler looks like ;^)

Now all it needs is an ethernet port and a web interface.

Current Status: Stapling
Staple Count:

Replacement Staple Count:
Hammer Position:

That would be awesome.
