Hi Richard, It could be instantiating classes because instantiating them makes objects of them. OK. I'm out of here and back to coding before I get chicken again.

I will probably get in trouble with some OO lawyer, but I instantiate objects, which are instances of classes. But no matter which is correct, I know what you meant.
