Erik doesn't like old circuitry
I have no problem with that when it is efficient

I quote:
"Multiplexing was in vogue when chips cost money .... YES, everything CAN be done with multiplexing, just so much more cumbersome and - in addition - harder on the LEDs shortening the lifetime of them."

He's not happy with components old enough to have the paint dry and the price within reason.

I quote:
"today you can drive LEDs without multiplexing for $0.03 - $010 per LED see my suggested chips above"

price within reason - $0.03 - $010 per LED
paint dry - the ST2221A currently used is > 10 years old
