          Application No. 09/273,385                                                  

               Since all of the independent claims require the                        
          “automatically and consecutively indicating said selectable                 
          options in a timed sequence,” we will not sustain any of the                
          examiner’s rejections of claims 1-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                 
               Accordingly, the examiner’s decision is reversed.                      
                                      REVERSED
