Todd, Exactly my thought that I have been trying to add to this thread. Thank you. A 'tribe of people' with OO discipline, willpower and determination is the key to a successful OO project. I wouldn't go as far as using carrier pigeons though. ;-) Of course, like I have mentioned earlier in this thread, knowledge and skill are essential but discipline, willpower and determination are critical factors, too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Ma < pma@partssolution.com > partsSolution, Inc. < http://www.partssolution.com > IBM Certified VisualAge for Smalltalk Developer < SmallNews - a Smalltalk UQWK editor for offline news editing >
