then let me quote the relevant bit for you: ====== the issue is not "would it be good to show the time left?" because the answer is pretty obvious: yes. the issue is: "can we actually deliver that?" and the answer is: not really. now, while it may work "well enough" for some people and "well enough" for some work patterns, it will not work well enough for many other scenarios. and here's my entire issue with it: when the computer LIES to you, you trust it less. when the computer's information is SUSPECT you then, even unconsciously, are left with some mental processes second guessing the system. such an individual will never be confident with or comfortable in front of that computer, at least not completely. it is better to serve up a more primitive feature set that has at least a chance of being true than a more complete feature set that breeds mistrust and ultimately contempt. ====== -- Aaron J.
