My nephew...loves FIRST. He wants to be an X-Cat but since he lives in Atlanta and that's a heck of a long commute for meetings I told him he probably should strive to be the next best thing: a CircuitRunner. - Koko Ed [more]

About those 40 seconds: is it cumulative or at one time? If it is cumulative, I'm going to have to seriously rethink the whole 6-CIM chassis.
