    If the previous email was just noise (thought it might be after the 
fact), think of "edge triggered interrupts" as something that was 
designed to occur periodically in order to meet a precondition :).

    Traditional interrupts can be asynchronous, whereas this edge 
triggered interrupts are synchronous with a clock signal of some kind 
(more like polling I think).

    Hopefully that clarifies some things...
