Per,

Obsessive trivia department:  I thought the paint was "worn off" my light
switch too. Actually, the little headlight symbol was just obscured by
filth! Scrubbed it with a toothbrush and some Citrisolve or Basic Green and
it looks almost new. Ditto other switches made grubby by years of finger
oils. As my ex-mother-in-law likes to tell me, "Simple minds, easy to amuse
..."
