>This sound inaccurate. Seems like it could wander using this method. That's why I figured if every 10 seconds I could look and see if my machine time (atomic time) was 05:59 I would play the wav. Your method leaves me at the mercy of the internal clock tick correct?
I am not sure how the Timer works in this respect. I thought it used the computer clock to determine time, but I am not so sure about the details. You may have to do some testing, to be sure which alternative is better, both for speed and for accuracy.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
