I need an asynchronous alert panel. My impression is that apple
doesn't consider this an alert if it's aynchronous.
A couple ideas occur to me for how to solve this:
1) Put the alert in a separate thread. But these seems to be a lot of
effort to get around a purposeful design, and thus
I'm trying to convert from Carbon to Cocoa for a number of reasons
which I won't go into here.
My application needs to set a timer that causes a function to be
called at a time in the future. This is non-repeating, and sometimes
has be immediate. I need it to be as efficient as possible,
