my sample is totally f*ed up?

No, not at all. But it doesn't appear very "elegant" does it?

really sheepish grin....well, I *thought* it was more elegant than the
original form?
goes to show what I know!
:-)

I'd appreciate a specific pointer to the "non-elegance"
what is it i'm doing wrong in that (admittedly brief :-) ) sample



Over the years, what has always been interesting to me is the innate
ability
of a programmer to notice when something "just ain't right". Experience
will
teach to recognize "Bad Patterns" as quickly as "Good Patterns". Frankly
the
former is perhaps more useful as a learning tool than the latter. <g>

Go ahead and follow through with it. Usually the effort itself will be
more
enlightening than a ton of books.

well, I did and it "works" and I thought it was "better", and I was asking
if it was an example of "strategy" pattern but apparently it's just another
example of my confused state
<vbg>



But since you ordered the book - you will soon be on your way to
"elegance"
that fits YOUR problem domain.

well, maybe not...
I've read :
1 gof (several times)
2 Object-Oriented Modeling and Design by Rumbaugh
3 Microsoft Visual Basic Design Patterns by Stamatakis

oh crap i also bought and read (in 2005)
4 Design Patterns Explained : A New Perspective on Object-Oriented Design
now just ordered a second time cause I didn't remember the title...grrrr ...
:-)

5 Head First Object-Oriented Analysis and Design: A Brain Friendly Guide to
OOA&D
6 Object-Oriented Thought Process, The (2nd Edition)

and apparenly none of that is sinking in
:-(
