Bill is someone who posted to this thread, apparently privately, though I
thought it was to the list. I have run across mentions of Twisted, was just
starting to look into it when this email arrived.

That's pretty much what I thought, but I wanted to make sure. Yet another
exceptional tutorial/code example btw, I think I've got it now. I need to
go play with them both (processing and threading) to be sure.

Thanks again! Richard
