Certain Packard Bell PC’s had a “progress indicator” as part of their recovery program. The indicator was just an animated bar going up and down which didn’t actually mean anything, so if the recovery failed in the background and the animation kept going, the end user would be blissfully unaware until perhaps realising that the recovery process shouldn’t THAT many hours!<br><br>In addition to “Windows Time” estimates on PCs, I also experience “Hotpoint Time” on my condenser tumble dryer when it’s “estimated time remaining” indicator remains at 1 for multiple minutes until it thinks the load is dry.
