The system is called Countdown, and as part of the iBus project it is set to become much more reliable and accurate. Which is a roundabout way of saying that the present system is not very reliable or accurate :P. As another poster pointed out, the present system is rather Heath-Robinson and failure-prone. It was, though, the best that could be done with the technology of the time it was implemented. Frustrating as it is, it's better than nothing. tom -- Ed editor textorum probatissimus est -- Cicero, De officiis IV.7 |
