No hiding from OO?

But how long does that last?
Shortages often lead to a "inventory surplus" in the end. Genetics is sort of in a bubble right now. If it does not deliver soon, investors will start pulling out.
But, like I said, I could perhaps hop back and forth as long as the slumps don't cooincide.

Waaaaah! I can't excape OO.
Perhaps because most science school tracks don't teach database/table skills. Thus, they tend to instantiate and process everything in language-specific collections. I need to show them the power of getting GOF-like patterns with mere expressions instead of physical code structure.
Thanks for the advice.
