From: web.dizign@... Date: 2007-05-01T13:45:10+09:00 Subject: What's a Mutex and how do I use it? Mutex seems very powerful and something I could use eventually as I better my understanding of ruby. Thus far, I haven't found the documentation verbose enough for me to grasp the concept of it. Could anyone try their hand at writing a piece (or a reply) that would help totally demistify this thing called a Mutex? Maybe a simple use case scenario or maybe just 2 or 3 different ways of using it... that would be enough for me to understand. Thanks!
