Maybe it's a flash from your past...  Working with microcontrollers there
is a need for external circuitry requiring resistors for pullups, biasing,
and current limiting LEDs.

My eyes aren't getting any better with age but iirc it was a lot easier to
read the colors on 1/4 watt resistors than the 1/8 watt metal film types
where the body is light beige or blue.
