yes.

I fiddled a little with cancelling timers before launching the next to see 
if it made the code better behaved. It does, though I'm still not 
convinced that its right. Also to do that in the present layout needs some 
kind of lookup table to figure out which timer to cancel which is 
increased complexity.
