Well, in all fairness, Bill's is better than mine in that he has a
single current limiting resistor as opposed to my three. Since only
one LED will be lit at any given time, there's only a need for one and
it can be connected from the common cathodes of the LEDs to ground.

He's suggested using a 555 to debounce the switch, but my simple RC
may work just as well. Depends on the switch's bounce
characteristics.

For me, there is educational value in seeing multiple approaches to the same
problem, particularly when someone explains the difference between the
various approaches, as you just did. So thank you.

Would you (or any other reader without commercial bias) please recommend an
inexpensive and reliable vendor for electronics parts for projects such as
this one? If such recommendations are not allowed on the newsgroup, please
feel free to email them to me.

Thank you,
Peter
