people in white coats. We're going to attract the attention of even wackier people. (They only get employed by governments.)

take less than .15 seconds on a computer even slower than a 266 Mhz machine. I'd be more concerned about your DIM statement, if I were you.

FYI: It takes considerably less than .15 seconds. I used it in a nested loop in a GP (oops...) that had to do it 50 times per click with an average of 500 clicks per iteration. So it used POINT over 25000 times an iteration. At .15 seconds, this would be 3750 seconds an iteration, though it only took five.

Slight difference.

How fast was your computer?

and said that it took considerably less than .15 seconds? (At the time I said the statement quoted, I hadn't tried it out yet and so I wasn't about to get real quantitative with numbers that I didn't have. )

330MHz. Kind of arbitrary considering the numbers, though. And Glen: Sorry, I either didn't read or forgot your post.
