Subject: user input timeout.

i'v bin programming for about 2 week now and just about completed
http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/

but for a change of pace i started something of my own but i cant seem
to get my program to wait X-seconds for user input.

basicly what i got is:

input= "empty"
input= gets.chomp

if input == "empty"
  puts "no input"
else
  puts input
end

all i want it to do is wait like 10 seconds and if there has bin no user
input it should just continue with input= "empty"

i feel like i'm missing something real simple

thnx in advance
