Hi Conor Thanks for the thought :)
If I had thought a little harder I would have probably remembered to correct phrase as well. Am I right in suggesting that a multithreaded app will automatically make use of multiple processors if they exist / right version of windows? I wonder because I often read about developers needing to re code applications to make use of multiple processors.
