You need a calibrated cup for it to work right. Then the ejecter just taps it, to measure it's mass, and only ejects it if it's empty.

Use the bottom one for holding your chewing tobacco or dentures. The height distance between the two prohibits usage for dual cup holding, but IS high enough for a squashed PBJ (or Vegemite) sandwich, or maybe even some crackers (bisquits). This is an inherent design flaw in the way that computer cases are manufactured, but the original engineers still refer to it as being a feature and not a bug. Ideally, the two should sit side-by-side as in the old IBM desktop AT cases or in custom desktop cases. With the two sitting side-by-side you can then make full use of your equipment - allowing you to have two different types of beverages at hand (Bourbon Coke + beer, or Gin Tonic + Guiness). -- Mon Jun 2 06:35:00 EST 2003 06:35:00 up 2 days, 15:44, 3 users, load average: 0.27, 0.30, 0.27 - |____ |kuhn media australia| | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | || | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 - * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * 'There's a kind of magic in masks.
