        '  NOTE: The .Net design guidelines state that access to Instance members does not
        '  have to be thread-safe. Access to Shared members does have to be thread-safe.
        '  Since My.Computer creates the instance of Computer in a thread-safe way,
        '  access to the Computer will necessarily be thread-safe. There is nothing to
        '  prevent a user from passing our computer object across threads or creating
        '  their own instance and then getting into trouble. But that is completely
        '  consistent with the rest of the FX design. It is MY.* that is thread safe
        '  and leads to best practice access to these objects. If you Dim them up yourself,
        '  you are responsible for managing the threading.
