Hi Patrick,

I agree that it's a pretty good book. I worked on a project that used
interfaces extensively and they solved a lot of problems in the context of
that application. So, I am an advocate of interfaces an encourage their
use. Some projects don't use interfaces, except for when they have to,
which I think is thier loss.
