more accounts, more time?

I found some ISM (Internal Services Machine) has more than one "temp account".
so I get'em all, as you can see the comparison pic below:

Having an admin account on an Internal Services Machine gives you the most time. I've never noticed if having extra accounts grants any other.

In that case re-hack it to get yourself admin access again. :P

It really doesn't matter as it's much quicker and easier to spend more time setting up long bounce chains than short chains aided by account access trace time delay. In other words, don't waste time hacking every account in the game, just use more bounce nodes.
