Is it necessary and can you defend your choice?
Thinking about it, as far as the assignment goes,
er... no.
I think it'll save me worrying about ,perhaps, 2 sync calls i.e lock record related calls.
But in real life as a developer,I'd rather have the worry ( whether things are synched or not ) taken off my shoulders.
Thanks for your response, Mark.
Which leaves the question, in real-life where are the likely applications? Databases, almost certainly.
Networks ?

P.S Threads are almost my pet-hate.
