Sorry to disagree with you, but Genesis does let you enter 0.015
(1½pence), it does NOT, however, let you enter the 4.2 pence
connection fee! At least, not to my knowledge - but I'm sure that
someone with expertise in maths. could come up with a formulae.

Also, be careful when entering you're times! For example:- enter
Monday as finishing at 2359 hrs and not 0000 hrs. If I recall, Tuesday
also can't start at 0000 hrs., but at 0001 hrs. ao you will be out 2
minutes daily, however I could be wrong here, it's been quite a while.

Friends?

Tom.
