//        could be easily modified to:
//             support two simultaneous recorders
//             be playing back events while already recording events.
//        Why?  Imagine if the product had a "record a macro" feature.
//        You might be recording globally, while recording or playing back
//        a macro.  I don't think two playbacks make sense.
