I disagree. Timers are not rocket science, and they are optimised (one assumes) not to consume more CPU time than they truly need. Your idea is more complicated and is polling, meaning that you are consuming more power and resources than necessary. Do you wake up every minute during the night to check whether it's time to get up? No, so you shouldn't program a computer the same way. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
