If I wait 3-5 seconds before realizing that I forgot to provide for my wife's entry (I respond to her frowns pretty quickly), the next beep does nothing and must be followed by a third to get the other doors open. Even more annoying to me is that there are separate buttons now for door open and door close. On my 1996, the single door button toggled all the door locks open/close. Now, I have to remember which button to use and how many times to push it. Dammit, I'm a tenured professor; I don't have spare neurons for this crap! Kal
