Meeting cost
Displays how much the boring meeting is costing the company | |
A timer based display has two sets of thumbwheel switches, and other switches for reset, start and on/off.
One thumbwheel switch sets the number of attendants.
The other thumbwheel switch sets the average hourly wage.
The display continuously shows the cost so far, when started.
Send
a message to the boss by ordering the special 8 digit model, with no decimal places.

Someone patented this in the US, but I believe this patent has now expired so build away! [krelnik, Aug 02 2005]

[ling] you would need to add in a facility to specify the cost involved in getting the meeting participants to the meeting. |

10,000,000 Venezuelan Bolivars (8 digits with no decimals) equals $5,208.33 USD as of this date. While I was hoping to prove humorously otherwise, even this seems expensive for a boring meeting within a relatively small company. |

And maybe a timer for the boss to reflect halfbakery usage during company time. |

For *that*, we have the 10 digit model.., and you can't turn it off |
