Ohh, threads... Mmmmm.. Donuts... :)
I was thinking of this the other day, and an easy way to set this up
would be to have the initial card background a different colour. All
that run on the same thread run on the same colour card/stack (I'm
still getting my mind around the naming conventions). Ok, the colour
wouldn't show up in run mode, but during development. Or a little
corner of the window displaying a number, the lower the number the
higher the thread priority (this'd be cool for timing apps,
especially to do with screen refreshes, if that get implemented): You
could alter thread priority just like we do with the arrows to alter
the card levels.
Cheers,
Luis.

Peter,
Rev would also trigger your firewall due to RevOnline launching on
startup (unless you disable it on the prefs). It's not phoning home
but it's sure accessing a server. Thats why I hate this firewall
softwares, it's all or nothing. In windows they go all jumpy. Now
imaigine me. At a common day work I have maybe three or four ssh
sessions, many stack tools acessing server, some standalones too....
I was an RB user too. I moved out of their base because the first
releases for Mac OS 10.1 were horrible. Thank God I found Rev.
What got me into Rev what the following line:
move this stack to the screenloc
When I first executed this on my first stack using Revolution
Starter Kit from eons ago, man, I was smilling so much, it was so
fun! I got the stack walking back and forth like a schizophrenic
pong machine! And I thought: "maybe I can also code something
useful out of it too..."
Now my only wish for Rev is NESTED ARRAYS AND THREADS!!!!! Sorry
for the all caps, I get emotional over this topics... :-)

I'm a FORMER user of REALBasic. I never used it for major
(multimedia) development, like I do use Revolution now. I guess
I am still counted in the 100,000.
BTW, I fired up my RB 5.5 the other day and almost fell off my
chair when the Windows firewall came up and told me it was trying
to connect to the internet! Why is RB connecting to the
internet? And what is it doing? Why would it phone home?
Perhaps that is how they get their user count... it tells them
every time you run it.

In a press release <http://www.macmegasite.com/node/3201> today,
REALBasic
indicated its product now produces Universal Binaries, but I
found it more
intriguing that they claim 100,000 users of their product. I
can't believe
that's a real number but if it is, they have clearly been doing a
lot of
growing in the past 12-18 months, probably at the expense of VB
which has
driven its users away in droves with its stupid "take .NET or go
away"
approach.
That would also mean they are *considerably* larger than I
suspect RunRev is
(though RunRev, like most companies, doesn't reveal installed-
base numbers).
