/**
 * A simple class that shows an example of using a Timer and
 * a TimerTask.
 *
 * This MIDlet creates two gauges. One gauge gaugeOne,
 * sets elements from low to high. The other, gaugeTwo,
 * set elements from high to low. In effect, this has
 * gaugeOne "going up", and gaugeTwo "going down."
 *
 * The two timers fire at different intervals.
 *
 * There are two commands on our form:
 * 
 * OK: toggles whether the times are active or not.
 * EXIT: exits the MIDlet.
