Fair enough.  Mind you it's a small thing compared to the difference between 
hand-coding C to make a serious enterprise app, vs. Objective-C, Project 
Builder, Interface Builder, and EOF (or their equivalents). ;)  Between those 
two options, I suspect that you and I have much more agreement than on this 
small point.

regards,
Christian.
