Hi Rodney

You find the neatest stuff!

That timer is almost like the AuctionTimer I wrote for you.

3am on the bike? Blimey. If I wake up then it's a cup of tea and a fag (ciggie to US readers).

Hi Jerry,
yep, finally moved on from your software.
It gave years of service.
This little box does it all, at least from my early trials.
I can take it with me to the City, when I sleep in the car.

Not all the time, Geoff, in summer when its hot, and we want to do 60-100Km
it's best to leave early, we choose a tail wind, and the girls pick us up and drive home.

Hi Rodney

I thought you stopped using the software when you changed computers.
You were still using it?

I assume the timer allows for time zones, or is that up to you manually?
Does it have an audible alarm for each timer?

Hi Jerry,
I was using your software for years to 2016.

Manually, New York is 12 hours (+1) now, so that's easy.
My auctions give timing so I just add 13
Yep, each alarm is audible, so you can have a second alarm, if you nod off...

It appears to lack a "pause" button for count up, so I cannot get off the exercise bike to change DVDs or Doccos.
