Hmm... Maybe I'm wrong, but couldn't that crash?
Delay returns the final tickcount in the finalCount parameter. In the code
above, finalCount points to some random memory area, so Delay will write
four bytes into some random place in memory.
I think
UInt32 finalCount;
Delay((5*60),&finalCount);
would be much safer.

Right?
