I know what you mean, and agree that at its core ref counting is straightforward. But in practice Cocoa memory management is not so simple. Just look at this beast: <https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/LoadingResources/CocoaNibs/CocoaNibs.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000051i-CH4-SW18> It's a shame that GC is being deprecated. It's the nicest memory management Cocoa has had, but its performance left something to be desired for sure. -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
