Hi Timothy,
I'm using a good bunch of threads on Shoes Raisins and it works well
with what I've done.
Basically some action (barcode scanner) triggers the creation of a new
element on the main stack. This creation runs a new thread which goes
to the internet to start some funky action, and reports back by
modifying the element.
Then I've got a button on this element that allows to start another
thread to achieve something else.
I'm using Thread.new { } all over the place for that and it seems to
work perfectly.
HTH,
