Exactly. Take applets for example. The Applet class *could* have been
abstract. It's not, but that doesn't matter. It provides a starting point
for ALL programmers who want to write applets.

In an OO language a class is the only thing you can code. Inside the class
you code a method, but a method can't exist by itself. It's like procedures
in Rexx. A procedure is no good unless it's used by some program. A file
with just a procedure in it is no good.
