Hmmmm...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but using eof? on a socket would be rather
useless, wouldn't it?

I'd *really* like to find something that will just tell me if there's data
waiting on a socket. Something I can use like

someSocket.incoming_data_waiting?

And if there's something I can read, I'll get true, and otherwise I'll get
false. But nothing I've tried seems to work that way.

-Morgan, wonders why such a simple seeming thing is so difficult?
