This is an attempt to avoid the timer.  I hate timers, though I use them in a server application. 
In a user application they cause screen blinking and also cause compile errors for the developer if 
the timer tries to execute code while you are typing in code.

If I know the IP address of every PC that has an application running, I can send a message to just 
those PCs.  But I have to know their IP addresses.

If you are going to communicate through a table then this kind of code is unnecessary, but then a 
timer has to poll for messages in the table.  YUK.
