Hi, James:

Why do you care how long it has been up?

I would think you would want the behavior to be something like this:

     put up splash screen (pop-up window?) with a timer
     if the user presses Enter (or any AID-generating key), dismiss the 
splash screen
     else when the timer expires, dismiss the splash screen

No?
