Mike Now I know I am patient. I only click again after 3.5 nanoseconds (My guess is that that is a greater time measurement then picoseconds)
To be serious though thanks for your not only humours input, but also for your knowledgeable input to this list. Latest today I used some valuable input from you on how to use ODBC connection for a SCONNECTED AND I DON'T DARE to name the MS database I SCONNECT to. But it is working better than I believed, when we had the discussion some months ago! >From that you can Judge that when it comes to Clicking I am SEMIFAST when it comes to following your sound advice I am FULLY SLOW! But butter slow than sorry so thanks again from pervious input!

Sounds like my wife is working there. She double clicks "everything". Further if she doesn't see activity within the first 1.5 picoseconds (for the uninitiated, at the speed of light, light travels just 9 inches each picosecond), she is likely to doubleclick again... So task bar items get launched twice, and more than one of program is ill-behaved when a quick double click tries to start virtually simultaneous launches. Example is IE sometimes completely hangs on her XP box when started this way. I have threatened bodily harm, but she just laughs at me.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lawrence Lustig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBG7-L Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 11:22 AM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Runaway R:Base processes / R:Base won't start. > At a large installation, I have the following problem on a small number of > machines: > > Sometimes R:Base appears not to start.
