- Speaking as one of Bill Cattey's users and, if I get this latest
- project finished RSN :-), one of his workers, I implore you: PLEASE,
- PLEASE don't do this. It's painfull enough now waiting a few seconds
- for the silly dialog to map itself, and it seems, although someone
- thoughtfully provided DialogPriority to get around this, most code
- seem to be setting the priority to be very very near 100 or 1 (to the
- point that a DialogPriority of 99 produces no noticable difference
- from one of 50, for 2 full days of work each.) It's almost to the
- point where I'm considering writing code to deal with it... My poor
- VS3100 will thank you too, because right now I tend to tap the side of
- it's monitor seven times rather forcibly whenever I'm waiting for
- ANOTHER dialog to tell me something I already knew....
