Beware of the dark side, me young apprentice.  You've just grasped the basic 
concepts of the magic that is OO.  Pretty soon you will have trancended mere 
mortal programming and will have to be elevated to that lofty realm they 
call management.

Watch out for the pitfalls of over-enthusiastic decomposition.  Pretty soon 
you are adrift in a morass of intertwined little classlets and 
overreferenced, underutilized interdependant non-deterministic objectless 
subclasses which serve merely to deference unsubstatiated widgets that some 
idiot left in the sandbox.
