If you don't know what a thread is, and therefore are presumably only using a single thread, you really don't need to worry about making sure your code is thread safe.The general theory and basics of threading are probably not quite on- topic for this mailing list. I'd suggest you just buy a book on the topic of threading and read it. It's an interesting topic, and a very useful tool.On the other hand, it can royally screw up things in your application if you don't plan ahead before you use threads. Moreover, threading bugs are hard to find, so you often think your code is OK, but then it crashes reliably on every other Mac, just not on your development Mac.
Yes, and it's also an import part in the creation of "schroedinbugs" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug#Schroedinbugs ) and other strange bugs.
