Now *that* is interesting.  I use Smalltalk V myself, which, as far as I
understand it, uses the same paradigm.  Now the thing I really like
about Smalltalk is the way you can break a problem into discrete little
chunks my feeble little mind can wrap itself around.  (Structured
languages claim to do this too, but they still have data spagetti.)  But
the user interface methods seemed to violate this spirit, though (being
a novice at OOP) I tended to blame the problem on my own lack of
understanding.

So somebody please tell me:  what other paradigms are there?  I wait
with bated breath.
