a) I had 3 beta testers. No said anything but "It's great!"
b) the code is contained in a socketed PIC processor. This ∗might∗ be able
to be changed to count 'the other way' and to convert run/stop to run/reset
to zero.
Would this help matters any?
If you had a small flat-bladed screwdriver the upgrade takes 20 seconds. The
cost would be around $25.
