HOURS - for CAUTs, etc.

[Scott Jackson]

I've often thought that a great addition to a new piano would be a
key-stroke counter, just like on a photocopy machine. I used to have a
service contract with a copier company. They would ring once per month for
the copy-count number, and charge per page.

Music teachers would also love it!
