Thanks.  This all makes sense.  While I'm anticipating using the
CharmedQuark components as my starting point, I realize that only
programmers really have the option of taking that approach to the
limit.  But even for those of us who program all day and night, it's
always nice when some desired behavior is already built in.  So one
capability I will be needing is the ability to time events with
resolution smaller than minutes.

Does the SG-1 have the ability to program responses (response delays)
that are specified to the level of seconds instead of just minutes?

For example, when the doorbell rings, I want to wait a varying number
of seconds until the first indoor light goes on, then another varying
interval before an indoor light goes on nearer the door where the
button was pressed.  The idea here is to buy some time while the
DoorbellFon reaches me via VoIP, but it won't be vary convincing if the
time is fixed in integer minutes.
