Steve, That’s an excellent point. I hadn’t thought about the indexing aspects of challenged voters. Would the Spyrus be a good solution in accounts that allow challenged votes?

The Spyrus does not lend itself to this indexing function as far as I can tell yet. The small yellow keys are somewhat difficult to manipulate if you are entering a string of numbers and are geriatric. So the * or # issue to initiate challenged voters seems only a small part of the battle. We have only until July to figure this out. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tyler Links To: rcr@dieboldes.com Sent: Monday, January 29, 2001 8:46 AM Subject: RE: VIBS for Spyrus reader That’s a good, easy interface solution (I wonder who suggested it). However, if we use the * key for VIBS, what about challenged voters? Use the # key? Again, that’s an easy interface (any moron could have thought of it). But then what happens in the future if we have to create a different kind of conditional voter? All of the keypad options are used up. We will need to use the arrow keys instead for VIBS, challenged, and whatever else, and we will have customers that will need to be re-trained to use the arrow keys for VIBS. Shouldn’t we standardize from the outset using an interface that allows flexibility for the future (i.e. the arrow keys)? [Footnote for everyone reading this message on RCR, the aforementioned suggestion to use the arrow keys was Ken’s. I’m the moron who thought to use the * and # keys.] How about this suggestion: Use the < arrow for VIBS, the > arrow for challenged, the # key to accept, the * key to clear an erroneous VIBS or challenged setting.

Bexar wants to use the Spyrus readers, and are going to run VIBS. Here is one straightforward proposal. When the user hits the * key at the Create? prompt, a 'V' appears to the left of the prompt, indicating that the card it to be created for VIBS. Pressing the * key again toggles off VIBS, and the 'V' disappears. Each card insertion resets the state to not-VIBS. This is complete. 0.2.1 will be ready for testing tomorrow. Ken
