Ah, but that doesn't stop me making mistakes, as we've already seen

Old age, memory, mumble...  :-)

Oh, heavens, I didn't realise I was making tea-leaves!  :-)

I refer to EOF in the past tense simply to acknowledge the evolution 
of a technology, and perhaps a developer.  Core Data clearly builds 
on EOF, but moves it in a different direction to address a different 
problem and different market.  So from the perspective of a Core Data 
developer who "had" experience with EOF, you might do "blah" in Core 
Data when you "used to do" "bleh" in EOF...
