There's also NSObject's performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: method.
And, if you are 10.5 only, there's also NSObject's
performSelectorInBackground:withObject:

/apple_ref/doc/uid/20000050-SW4
and make callbacks using -
performSelectorOnMainThread:withObject:waitUntilDone:

/apple_ref/doc/uid/20000050-CJBEHAEF
