My feeling is that there is no good reason to add the complexity of your
own custom classes if they provide no additional data or behaviour. If you
know you have plans to add your own attributes and/or methods to MyNotebook
soon, there's no harm in doing this now, but why? You can always create your
own custom subclass at the point when you have something of value to add and
through the mircale of polymorphism, it will function everywhere a Notebook
would.
