Yes, this is also a nice feature about the utility...............some
workstations don't have to use the time-out it you don't want them to. The
company that I work for is very, ah, cost cutting.......................ah,
okay, CHEAP so we didn't want to buy the utility at first. But, I really
encouraged the company to buy it after all of the good input I heard from
the list. IT REALLY IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
