Why not just use a 555 timer IC? ;-)

[Rod Barman]

I gotta agree with Tom on this.  I too found it irritating receiving upteem
million useless messages but remember that John maitains all the lists
for free.  You may pay for your email put he doesn't get paid to run the
list.  It comes out of his nebulous spare time (on a Sunday no less).

Oh, and Tom, I can make an EFI system with 3 transistors.  Only a weenie
would need an IC.
