Sometimes you can have them on a timer or display the current load

I open mine as soon as my app has enough info to display it, then it has
a timer that automatically closes it after five seconds or whenever the
user touches a key or clicks a moouse on the window - whichever happens
first.
I forgot about that, having users get rid of the logo with a click. Thanks!
Thank you also to everyone who gave feedback. I expected maybe one or
two people to reply, most not thinking of splash screens as being
anything of an issue to consider in an application...apparently it's
something that people actually have opinions about :-)
Someone did state not to make it a modal. Is there any specific reason,
or gotcha' someone has run into where it was blocking specific events
from firing that you wouldn't think it would have interfered with? I'm
using a frametype 4 "plain box" right now to display it.
