Look Busy CommentaryGreat–but one thing I'd like to see fixed. - Version: 1.5, 8/20/2004 09:48PM PST

My only problem is that the "time remaining" countdown is completly accurate (and therefore not very realistic). Since when do the real bars not give wildly wrong estimates? Besides that, it's a great app and I use it all the time.

It may look like there is a BusyBee available for download. But click on the Versiontracker link to download BusyBee and you get this:

"Not Found
The requested URL /tchest/busybee/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

I'll notify the versiontracker webmaster to see if they can fix it.
