'Whirlers;
Thanks to all who replied to my query about OOPs (Object Oriented
Programming)- Sue, Thomas, Mauri, Vince, Kevin, Donna, Mike and Rick- and
remember, if you answered with "OOPS is the prescribed response to a 2,000
page manual that comes off the presses with the product name spelled wrong
throughout", you have a sense of humor and must exit the list immediately!
(No, don't shoot! Just kidding!)

They're asking for experience with object-oriented programming. The 's' is
the oops part. ;-)
