I guess it would depend on how many screens and how many seconds, Steve.
I don't know about you, but I get real tired of hearing a customer
service rep saying "I have to switch to the other screen, it'll just be
a second".

This is not an argument.  The fact that OTHER things waste time is not a
justification for your programming adding to the inefficiency.  I hate
to sound pedantic, but this sort of attitude will kill a software
package.

Anyway, this horse is probably pretty dead now.  I've certainly
expressed my opinion clearly enough <g>.
