<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This might seem like a silly question from an IT
graduate, but I have never been really sure what the word "Thread" means, and it
is used a lot.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just saw it in the subject matter of a PLUG
e-mail; "threads" are talked about in the context of bulletin boards and
e-mail lists; "fast threading" devices are advertised ..... I know the
difference between and Application and a Process and have a sort of intuitive
feeling about what "threads" might be, but if anyone would take the time to
define threads or explain them, I would be obliged.</FONT></DIV>
