Haha! I like you Phil. :-)

It's not an easy transition - but I assure you, of all people that know both
sides (the curly and the square side) an overwhelming percentage of them (all?)
prefers the square side.

Btw, IMHO interfaces exist in Smalltalk - just not very concretely. But it is
very true that inheritance/classes are all about implementation.
