- Get thyself to a technical bookstore and pick up a copy of Dr. David Taylor's
- book "Object-Oriented Technology: A Manager's Guide". Do not let the
- title fool you-- this little gem is for everyone (kids, adults, software
- engineers, lay people...you get the picture). The book is quite short but
- is worth its weight in platinum. Dr. Taylor develops a wonderful analogy
- to explain the object-oriented paradigm and illuminates its features with
- some of the best english prose I have ever read. Good luck!

- Thanks for listening.
