; make each call to 'timer_read' delay for a little while
; this kludge will make the polling loops work at least

; timer_read is meant to return a counter with millisecond resolution

;this SHOULD just read the current timer value
;but since a standard apple 2 has no dedicated timing circuit,
;each call to this function actually delays a while, then updates the current value
; inputs: none
; outputs: AX = current timer value (roughly equal to number of milliseconds since the last call to 'timer_init')
