Opinions vary. If you try this on a laptop, the end user will be quite annoyed to see their battery drop to zero, their cooling fans go into overdrive, and to receive first degree burns on their hands and/or lap. Busywaiting my cpu makes your program an instant candidate for immediate deletion. Maybe that's just me :) Alan _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
