I have been using Myth for almost 3 years now, and I have to admit, the lack
of the "Please Wait" screen makes me feel like it's my first day every time.
It's amazing. I KNOW it's gone, I KNOW my playback is going to start
momentarily, but without that screen, I still have doubts that the key press
was received. It's exacerbated on playback of Video_TS folders in
MythVideo, which take especially long to load.
