I'm fairly certain this has been mentioned before but I'd like to throw my hat in for the implementation of a stopwatch and a timer in the accessories.

There are so many nice features already with the calculator, notes and calender that I wonder why this has not been done yet. Would be great especially as a miner to time the cycles, make it so the timer starts automatically again once timed down and an audio alert is given. Also great when you throw a pizza in the oven :) Shouldn't be hard to implement and would be highly appreciated!

Actually, you can (kinda) do this with your jukebox. I used a program called Pazera, or some such, to make a set of mp3 that are "silent" and renamed them based off their length and imported them as a playlist. If i need a stopwatch to time, say a mission i'm running, I load the file named "60m" and press play when i land on grid. It works for me, though having it set to count DOWN as apposed to counting up (or to have a sound feature) would need a dedicated method rather than a makeshift one.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

I don't even use the jukebox at all so that would indeed be a useful application for it now, kind of a jury rigging it I suppose. Thanks for that tip :)
