Well I can honestly say that despite the bickering that went on through this post, I was able to extract quite a large amount of direction, and suggestion from the thread. You can bet that I will be running off to read the tutorials of ms. and probably many others as I hope to be here for a while.

I am not here with a desire to learn how to "hack"....

I am here to hopefully find assistance as I need it as I continue to attempt to further understand why the clock ticks... and how to better manipulate the ticks themselves, or even better yet, the very things that create and control the ticks without actually breaking anything.

Please note the clock is nothing more than a shabby example...

My point is I am here because there appears to be a vast majority of knowledge here, and as I broaden my horizons, I may have questions.... Yeah they may be dumb ones... and I am sure that I too will be directed to the faqs, among other things. I am also sure that I will be chastized or ridiculed from time to time.

That is what opinions allow us to do.

Society teaches us that any questin that we already know the answer to is a silly or dumb question. As we ridicule that person, we need to keep in mind that we too had questions at some point in time, about something.
