but when you want to incorporate the other phidgets in the code - you have
constant output going to them - servos,leds, encoders, synchros and
steppers i think it does need to be efficient ?

but since i know nothing about programming, do correct me if I'm wrong.

And he'd be right. It isn't. But who cares? If you have an app that spends
most of its time sitting around waiting for the user to do something, then
it doesn't particularly have to be. An end user doesn't care about
efficiency of coding. He cares whether your app does what it claims to do,
and without crashing. That's it. I've never approached my programming from
a programmer's point of view - I always develop from an end user's point of

view. I'll be the first to admit that my code isn't the tightest or most
structured. But that's not VB's fault - that's mine ;)

Lovely ;)
