Countdown Timer Screenshot

Countdown Timer is an awesomely useful application that enables you to count down from ten to one with great reliability. It's the sort of program you might need to help you launch space missions, make things happen at the same time with maximum precision, etc.

It could have been me who wrote this:

Sirs,

Today here at British Nuclear Fuels we used your excellent Countdown Timer to help us manage the process of switching from live running of our old nuclear reactor to the brand new reactor we have just built.

Normally when we perform this sort of handover process, one of us has to stand up and shout out the countdown from 10 to 0, and then we all press the necessary switches to make the handover.

Many times in the past this has caused lots of problems, as people forget the correct sequence, or count down at the wrong speed. On one occasion the person who was shouting out the countdown sequence accidentally used intervals of an hour, and none of us made it home in time for dinner. When our timing sequence goes wrong it usually means we end up releasing vast amounts of radioactive gas into the atmosphere, which some people seem to think is a problem.

Since using your excellent software to help us count down, we haven't made any mistakes at all. Let's keep our fingers crossed

Best regards,

Bernie Rogers
