Need Crazy Ideas
I thought here would be a better thread place for this question:
I've a program thats gonna search some files and it works but can take up to 30 seconds to search all files. Anywho what I wanted was a way to stop user interaction which I 'think' i've done by not putting in DoEvents but I also want a way to entertain the user while this 30 second operation is taking place. At the moment all I've come up with is displaying an animated cursor. So I approach you people for ideas.
BTW You can be as crazy as you want but I don't wanna slow down my program any more

If they are online you could show a browser with the news headlines.
Or a naked woman... that'd keep me occupied for 30 seconds (just  )

A game of tick tak-toe?
A database of jokes (Selects 5 at random)?
A useless world fact (Random country with flag, capital, map etc)?
That tile memory game (pick two tiles at a time, if they match they vanish)

I'm with Tic-Tac-Toe. That'll keep anyone occupied for 30 seconds.

Well I took these factors into serious consideration...then i realised that the time took only 5 seconds not 30 seconds.
So me thinks theres no real point anymore.
Thanx anyway
