I love this quote (from http://www.paulgraham.com/noop.html): Object-oriented programming generates a lot of what looks like work. Back in the days of fanfold, there was a type of programmer who would only put five or ten lines of code on a page, preceded by twenty lines of elaborately formatted comments. Object-oriented programming is like crack for these people: it lets you incorporate all this scaffolding right into your source code. -- Jacques A. Vidrine http://www.nectar.cc/ NTT/Verio SME .
