What, you don't find spinny cursors interesting anymore?
Strange that you should bring this up, only last week I was using the spinny
cursor concept to explain to a colleague how to continually auto-scoll text
in a browser window using the technique similar to....
my @windmill=("\\", "\|", "\/", "\-"); # Not sure if I need to escape all
of these
printf "%s\r",$windmill[$_ & 3] for (0..10000);
He'd never seen the spinny cursor and was quite impressed - quite sad
really!

Bear in mind that without any sort of delay it's unlikely
you'll be able to see any of this occuring.
<reminisce>Ah, the good old days, where a 300-baud modem was fast
and little spinny cursors were still interesting. *sigh*</reminisce>
