Note that during the 'time after other conditions are met' period, the
flight computer will keep checking all of the conditions to make sure
they are *still* being met. This was done after a suggestion by Bob
Brown, the Kloud Busters prefect (among other roles) so that you
could safely set fairly long delays.

I've also talked to a couple of fliers who constructed more complex
conditions by wiring two channels together and having one channel set to
fire after a delay and the other set to fire when the speed dropped
below a threshold.

Making the channels programmable is great for this kind of flexibility,
but as I mentioned before, it's really hard to figure out how to
validate the selected conditions in 'all possible' flight profiles.
