> Threads are for people who can't write finite state automatons.

High-level languages are for people who can't write proper assembly
code.


Nate

ps. Yes, the above was written tongue-in-cheek.  People who make broad
statements like Terry often makes deserve to have their statements
thrown back at them.  Threads, like any other tool used by programmers,
can be used for both good and evil purposes, depending on the ability
and experience of the programmer doing the work.
