[Tutor] time.sleep problems (fwd)

[Glen Wheeler]

Damn that's exactly what I wanted it to do grrrrrr...

By locking up I mean only the program, I have to ctrl+alt+del and then close
it to regain control of my system.

Awww this doens't mean I have to install Linux does it?  (again :)

I was designing for windows not Linux...there has to be a solution to this
problem :)
