Lars,

    If I could stick to a one word review: CLEAN

I wish I had seen this a year ago and I hope you have this well published to
RB Garage, café etc.  Its got a ton more than just the prefs - menu
handling, timer, static text sub class and Im sure more - this should be in
every beginners tool box.  It shows a ton of great basic concepts, has even
more comments than code and works nicely too!  I is good of you to offer it
up to everyone as example work when it is a lot of work to prep it so
cleanly - thank you.
