Hoppe and Ligia-E. Bolz have realized that each class has a bunch of setSomething
functions and a bunch of getSomething functions. This is so that the users of
a class don't access the value directly. For example, you might want to getAge()
for a class Person. Internally, you can either store the age and check every night
at midnight, if the age is to be increased, or you just store the birthday, query
the current day, and calculate the age. Depending on the circumstances, the one
or the other is the preferred way to store it. The user doesn't care - all they
want is the age, period.

Schreiber and Nicole Krienke have attacked the problem of getting applets
to run in the Unix lab, and are now getting to be applet experts!

Dittus and Michael Gustmann thought it was exceedingly boring, just having
menus, so they included little icons with the functionality behind them in their
editor..... almost have Word finished, seems like!
