[REBOL] A better way?

From: tbrownell::l3technology::com at: 6-Feb-2003 10:04

Is the following bit o' code the most efficient way of continuously "doing" things (In this case, continuosly monitoring yahoo and rebol web servers with forever loops)? What's happening here anyway? You would think that it would hit a forever loop and that would be the end of that script. Is it generating multiple threads with each button or ? =TBrownell rebol [] view layout [ aa: box blue 25x25 btn "Yahoo" [forever [wait 10 either error? try [read http://www.yahoo.com] [aa/color: red show aa] [aa/color: green show aa] ] ] btn "Rebol" [forever [wait 10 either error? try [read http://www.rebol.com] [aa/color: red show aa] [aa/color: green show aa] ] ] btn "Other" [print "something else"] ] P.S. Rebol website visitor logs may be artificially heightened ;)
