John,

I recently chatted with one of the guys that work at "Let There Be Neon" 
in NY and was told that Japan has MANY more neon colors than we do here 
in the US.  Is the reason for this that they use more phosphors?  Why 
don't the shops in the US use more of them?  (Of course, Japan is 
supposed to be the leader in neon usage.)
