A natural magnet for the craziest TKinter lovers out there

[Thomas Passin]

Works through 20 presses of the "go" button on a Linux Mint VM.  Because 
of limited RAM allocated for the VM, after some iterations the program 
slowed down because the VM had to start using swap memory.  But there 
did not seem to be any glitches or failures.

Python 3.9.5
Linux Mint 20 Ulyana /Cinnamon 3.07 GB
Linux kernel  5.4.0-137-generic
tk: 0.1.0
