You push the button... there's light. You push it again... it goes off. Sounds
logic to me...

Well, that's very easy to solve: you just make hamster Huey run faster in his
wheel!
That tip was for free ;)

Infinite loops - See the complexity in THAT? ;)

Indeed: I don't touch anything which goes beyond 12 V (aka "killer voltage").
Even taking out the batteries of my motorbike is scarry enough ("Do I unplug
the - cable first, or was it the + one? Ah never mind, I disconnect them both
at the /same/ time...").
By the way, is it true that electrical engineers put their fingers into the
power outlet each morning instead of drinking coffee, like we software
engineers do (the entire day)?

P.S. Yes, off course you are right with your objection ;)
