Harking back to my Commodore 64 experience, I was responsible for creating a suite of programs run on the 64 and also the 128 for car racing clubs. Live timing with lap times and who's beating who and full printed race results a few minutes after a race ended. I even had a program to simulate the use of 128 stopwatches that was boringly easy to use, in older days somebody managing 4 stopwatches was often in trouble getting them mixed up.
As for timing accuracy, it was possible to tune the main oscillator for accuracy and after one 12 hour production car race at Bathurst that we provided results for the Commodore was within the same 1/100 second as the accurate stopwatches. Not bad.
For maybe 10 years around the late '80s it was the most popular suite of programs used by many car clubs in Australia, and it was all done an an exercise to 1) see if I could do some programming, and 2) because it was said it couldn't be done.
Fun days, been there done that, now onto things that don't strain my brain so much.

I downloaded some R8 landscapes from Flickr to test out the purple fringing removal technique described here: http://www.great-landscape-photography.com/remove-purple-fringing.html .
It was really really easy and works well.
So, if you have an awesome photo that does have some purple fringing that is getting in the way, then it's easy to remove.
So that's not a tick against the R8 for me know.

The one thing that really hisses me off with the GX100, is that it insists on turning on the LCD to tell me it is switching off! Even when the LCD has been turned off! The only way around is to have the EVF in place.
