This program was designed to show exactly why timers should not be used to keep or track time.
They should only be used to make run code in an amount of time that is not concurrent with a clock.
Meaning that do not expect timers to interrupt and run code every 10 seconds exactly. There is some give
and take in the timed events depending on what your application is doing at the time and how much code it is running
and a few other things.

Timers should be used basically to interupt your running code to check for something in an inexact
amount of time. Example 300ms will sometimes be 450ms, 310ms or 300ms depending on what is happening on your system.
