I *do* question the wisdom of whoever it was that decided the acronym for
Object-Oriented Programming Systems. DO you really expect to come out with
a program using a language whose acronym is OOPS?.

Object-Oriented programming is a paradigm that was invented by
accident (and getting something to work right is equally as
chancey).

Since I work on an OO (OhOh!) development system, I'd like to find
someone who'll design a character set with eyeballs in the
uppercase "O" so I won't cause "li'l orphan annie syndrome" when I
discuss my product. Perhaps, with a little programming effort, we
could actually set the eyeballs to follow the youser around the
room! %-}
