	Timer() is a one-shot; per the OPs requirements even it would need
to be placed within a loop to invoke multiple calls -- so there isn't
much gain in terms of lines of code... And worse, since it calls the
function asynchronously and not sequentially, a delay time for each
instance would have to be computed inside the loop too...
