I know this thread has been around, Ive been here for quite a while.......
And Ive usually been the bard, but Ive never had the opportunity to time it,
all of my travelling companions swear by it though. I had assumed by
listening to this list that they were either humoring me or it was in their
heads. It just happened that I had the opportunity myself and I was
suprised by the outcome. After thinking about it, if it is truely a refresh
rate my test may not have been very accurate, I tested bubbles 2-4 because
they were the easiest to track.
