{ SimpleTimer is a timer class. It has the same timer resolution  }
{ as TTimer, but it is more lightweight because it's derived from }
{ TObject in stead of TComponent. Furthermore, the same handle is }
{ shared between multiple instances of SimpleTimer.               }
{ This makes it ideal for developers who need a timer in their    }
{ own components or applications, but want to keep the resource   }
{ usage minimal.                                                  }
