Sorry to persist the point ;|, but which one of these
techniques would best serve the task of archiving a
variable to disk. This variable could be anything from
an instance of Collection, to a custom class designed
to wrap around a group of objects. Imagine i had
created a global instance of Dictionary called
"Images" which i'm using to hold any imported images
within. If i wanted to archive this dictionary to
disk, then bring the variable back into a fresh image,
would it be best to use method 2)?

Merry Christmas + a groovy new years!
Ali.
