    Sure it can... CIceCream *cone = new CIceCream("chocolate"); ;) My code isn't buggy. Those are all fleatures.

      You would want to share your ice cream, wouldn't you? boost::shared_ptr<CIceCream> cone(new CIceCream("chocolate"));

            What programming language is "best" is a lot like school lunch: it's all what you see it to be. Like in the school lunch, they say it's chicken parmesean, when you know full well it's the crispy chicken from yesterday w/ some melted cheese on it. You really have to look at it abstractly more than anything. If they say it's chicken parmesean, it's chicken parmesean. <---signature---> Your kid gets into Duke. You pay the tuition.

              Well, it's a bit like asking: "Which is better: a hammer or a rubber mallet?". They are both similar, but they are useful for somewhat different jobs. HTH :)

              JDunlap, your analogies just don't work for me. Of course a rubber mallet is better. You can whack a mole and play croquet with a rubber mallet, you can't with a hammer, so obviousl a RM is better. A Ferrari is still better than a 4x4... ;p regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?

                But you can share and keep it yourself, both at the same time.

                //C#

                private CIceCream cone = new CIceCream("chocolate");

                public CIceCream IceCream
                {
                get
                {
                return cone.Clone();
                }
                }

                      Welcome to CP, Erin. :) You're one of the few women to grace this site with their presence. You can spot the others by either their names (although Trollslayer [Elaine], is not so obvious until you see her name in her sig) or by their frequent use of girly language (e.g. "hon" or "awww cute") and the ever so feminine :rose: emoticon. ;) So, tell us a little bit about yourself. :) (Oh, and I must disagree with you...Ken Childs is not sexy. ;P)

                                    Better yet, you could keep yours and share it in any flavor. :)

                                    private IceCream<Flavor> cone = new IceCream<Flavor>(Chocolate);
                                    public IceCream<Flavor F> Cone

                                      Kinda defeats the point though, don't it? I mean, you want to just give them a slap and tickle, not crush their skulls. They can't fit that many moles in a box you know and if you keep killing them, they have to keep stopping you, emptying the box and then refilling them. Your sledge though *is* good for a bit of lettingoutfiretruckingfrustrationsfromhavingdaftclientswhowantsearchbuttonsnotonsearchformsbutsomewhereelsejustnotonthesearchformofcoursesologicalyeahright venting. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was.

                                        Oh. Ever considered hiring a hypnotist to sit in on design discussions with you? Somehow, i could see it being useful... Paul: So anyway, we've placed this beautiful button, right on the bottom left of the form, where it'll handy for the users should they get themselves all worked up into a real "pressing" mood. Client: No, no... i think my original plan of putting the search button on the whackamole easter egg game is the way to go. Paul: Alex? Alex the Hypnotist: Please, keep your eyes on the watch... you are feeling sleepy, very sleepy... your eyelids are soooo heavy... you will listen to Paul in regards to the placement of the search button... you will also give up your idea of outfitting customers with complementary rubber mallets in case they find the whackamole easter egg. Client: Bwack bwack bwack bwack <clucks softly and tries to lay an egg> ...or not... :~

                                          Welcome to CP, Erin. :) You're one of the few women to grace this site with their presence. You can spot the others by either their names (although Trollslayer [Elaine], is not so obvious until you see her name in her sig) or by their frequent use of girly language (e.g. "hon" or "awww cute") and the ever so feminine :rose: emoticon. ;) So, tell us a little bit about yourself. :) (Oh, and I must disagree with you...Ken Childs is not sexy. ;P)


                                          Hawaian shirts and shorts work too in Summer. People assume you're either a complete nut (in which case not a worthy target) or so damn good you don't need to worry about camouflage... -Anna-Jayne Metcalfe on Paintballing
