I wonder if the person(s) who designed it also worked on the
design/implementation for the new parking deck.

perhaps you'd be so kind as to define "relevant" and "irrelavant" and why it

I completely aggree.... the current setup is absolutely disgusting.  and
it gets worse every time I need to go the all of 20 yards onto campus

Well, it sort of is.  He gets the e-mail notice from the post office,

My current one has been good for the last 3 years 7 months and 28 days,
no need to order another one.  <smile>  however, we do have a pretty
nice system for synchronising my arrival with her departure so that I
have to wait a minimum of time.  I get bored rather quickly, and she
realises that....

who cares?  they're absolutely right.

whoever decided that this was a good plan should be beaten.  it doesn't
take a MIT grad to figure out that there's a problem in the design.

I prefer the rays, I can't get enough of the stuff.   I'll deal with the
mind control rays when I need to.

Meanwhile, the person that will represent you... Well, they're kinda
slack and meaningless, if I don't miss my guess.

Hope nobody gets killed in the new design.  Part of the package.  But,
