AHHHHH! Yes! The TURBO TIMER! (Why didn't I think of that!?:nono: ) I use "crisptimer" on my car... an "analog" unit, no less...:biglaugh: -crisp

YEAH, the SBC is something I had a CHANCE to buy a dozen years ago... but too much money then... so I started looking again 6 years ago and NO LUCK ANYWHERE! Recently, I hit the "Jackpot"... but I cannot give details, or I would be at risk for "termination"... heh heh heh. Yes, PLEASE...
