Indeed!  I know some people here are Objective-C fanatics :) -- including many  
people at NeXT. And yes, I do like Objective-C for GUI stuff. But it seriously  
s**** sh** when it comes to other things. BTW, does anyone out there know why  
NXPoin, NXSize etc., etc. were not implemented as objects? In C++ it would have  
been easy (both to program, use, and subclass), and if would have been  
EFFICIENT!

Ah... It felt good to get that out of my system :)
