I'll admit to being completely out of my league when it comes to how 
windows CE development should be done, however, I do like the idea of 
being able to leave the hourglas running until I'm "ready for input". 
I'm in the midst of creating a scanning application that will be loading 
quite a few modules, and it would be nice to have the visual clue that 
the user needs to wait.

Additionally, it would be nice to be able to turn on the hourglass when 
entering a method that may take a while to complete. (I'm sure there is 
probably an easy way to do this, I'm just not familiar with it yet.)
