Fair enough. I have seen plenty of C code using C++ objects that I

didn't think of as real C++ code. It felt more like Obj-C to me, but

again, to each their own.

Fair enough. We all think in different ways so I can see what you're

getting at. I personally don't find C++ all that bad to grok once I

get into it a little, but if we were all like me the world would be a

boring place. :)

Emotion + Email = Misinterpretation
My apologies if I misunderstood what you were getting at. Best wishes

whatever your decision on the phone, I certainly don't make any money

if you buy one. :) Just curious what you found so wrong about the

change, and you kindly explained it to me. Thanks. :)
