quite true tim. those of us who actually _use_ and do research in
object technology are finding it more and more difficult to use the
word "object" because of the severe overloading that is going on.
some of us are starting to move to the term "component" which
currently has a less overloaded but also less precise definition in
our world.
oh, and this "announcement" is so full of bullshit i'm getting sick to
myself.
