I love that board! I have one that's very much in the same spirit as "kludge.2" (and also red, for the same reason they describe), but the first (Gemini?) board made me realise I need to up my silkscreen game.
As I mentioned on the podcast, I love that board so much I want to be buried with it! In terms of the silk, I (naturally?) especially love "Yes Bryan, I know these are out of order" on the SMBus headers on the bottom right of the board -- not least because even though I don't think Cliff could have known it at the time, I have spent a LOT of time plugging things into those headers, and have probably endured its peculiar ordering more than anyone else!
I often mis-design stuff and end up stuck between "do I undo all this work and make it more consistent, possibly breaking it and losing days in the process, or just overcome my desire for order and keep working with a slightly inconsistent system".

Thanks for posting, that was very interesting
