However, they are software only, and run on a computer. I’ve put a notice on our website to see if anyone has an old PC they will donate, but no volunteers as yet. We used to have a software timer, maybe still do, but Marie didn’t like to use it…. Interfered with her use of the computer, she said. The bell was't very loud, either. Frank Jones used to have a stand alone timer, but maybe he took it with him. The best one is the one that Lisa found, which is about $450, and although it’s expensive, I think I would be inclined to vote to buy it. No strong feelings bout it, though, as I don’t consider an occasional lateness much of a problem. Maybe we could just tell Dominique and Art they can’t play. Nah…. We need the money, and the occasional chuckle when she gets mad at him. Anyway, I don’t have much hope of finding a suitable bridge timer without spending some money. (Look at as an investment…. If we bought one I think it would outlast any and all of us.) Roy I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted. _______________________________________________ Unit559board mailing list -- unit559board(a)bridgemojo.com To unsubscribe send an email to unit559board-leave(a)bridgemojo.com
