But this would only work locally nicely. So, I was thinking about how would I implement in for the network and had three ideas. Today I decided to ask an opinion of the group. What do you think was the group's decision? <g> No need for automatic updating the screens at all. Well, since I already implemented the local logic I immediatelly raised the question, do we want to remove that functionality? And the answer is Yes again.
