-- _at_home.com is bogus. "During the downloading process, an unintentional additional procedural step occurred in the loading process which allowed the creation of an anomaly that 'doubled' the primary firing sequence. The primary sequence then consisted of a sequence that would fire the entire display simultaneously and then proceed to fire the display in the proper sequence." - http://www.bigbayboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/BBBFS-Garden-State-News-Release-July-11-2012.pdfReceived on Thu Jul 12 2012 - 16:28:56 CDT
