Thanks.

Can you explain the idea behind serialVersionUID (or
point to a link)? 

It seems (under ideal circumstances and not what I was
conerned with previously) that if the classes are
legitimately out of sync and I don't set it, I will
get an exception saying that serialVersionUID is
mismatched. If I do set it, I will get an invalid
stram exception or something like that. I don't
particularly care what exception I get.

Thanks!
