Pretty close, I'd say. Still, even after the AcuRite guys knew what they
were doing, the Newall system was still faster, requiring fewer inputs.
The one thing I learned from this is, no matter how impressive the demo,
(which are always well tuned routines) always give the salesman a
real-world sample that is representative of your average work.
