JohnThinkpad2.jpg (66393 bytes) John working at HISO, Honeywell Internet Software Operations at the BMT unit - not to be confused with the Honeywell Indian Software Operations in Bangalore, India.  Although it is hard to see, directly behind the notebook computer is an emulation system being used in adding several features to Chrono IV thermostat.   Honeywell allowed John to log as many hours as possible off site and the hospital Bio-Med department allowed the emulator to be brought into the unit.
