Poll workers need a
very obvious "Results Sent Okay, Turn Unit Off". If you prompt them with
"Upload Another?" all you are going to get is a confused poll worker asking
herself "Upload Another What?". I don't think another prompt for poll
workers is the answer.
The timeout is not a
bad idea though. How about leaving the "Turn Unit Off" message the way it
is, and just time out the connection. Regional centers are staffed with
people trained to ignore the message already, and we don't have to complicate
the lives of normal poll workers.
I still wonder
whether King is going to be real happy about having to press a button when they
*know* they want the line held open though. Can this be made an option
without breaking 1.94 memory card compatibility, and if not would it be a
good idea for 2.0?
