I came across QueryPerformanceCounter and QueryPerformanceFrequency API
calls.  They allow you to gain micro-second precision.  Could be useful for
timing code or high-speed input.

I hadn't noticed these referenced before, but they work great.  There's an
MSDN article on how to use with VB.

My apologies if posting this kind of information is bad ettiquite. Just let
me know (nicely, please).
