I normally consider myself pretty lucky.

There was a "constructive feedback folder" in the cab for a few months following the introduction of the technology.

It started to fill up pretty fast.
It's not only myself in the tower that feels that way.

Tell you what, in an environment where looking outside fairly frequently is important, and scanning, and having a few things "on the go", mentally, a system that forces one (a) into a linear/serial mode of operation, and (b) requires a fair bit of heads-down time, is not appropriate, even without the issues experienced.

[edit] not much has been addressed, from the items entered into the folder, by the way. It is "expected" the next version, due in 2 or 3 months, will resolve the issues. We'll see.
