Mike,
I'm coming in a little late here but I heard my high school physic teacher groan.
He walked into class one day holding a piece of copper wire about a foot long and exclaimed, "This is a nano second". Or how far electricity (or light) travels in one billionth of a second.
I did the math, and I think he's still right. Although it may have been slower back then<g>

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....
