The existence of a sleep call is neither here nor there. For example, there are many servers that I could try to connect to with a 1 second timeout, then sleep for a second if that failed, and try again. That would be better use of the processor than not using sleep at all. -- Joel Rees Be careful where you see conspiracy.
