Hello Jamis,

I'm polishing my solution, and I'm wondering why you are storing object id's instead of object references in the tree? I'd imagine that storing the object reference takes the same amount of space as storing the id. Is it maybe because objects can't be GCed while they are stored in the tree? On the other hand, wouldn't GCing break your program?

Regards,

Brian

PS: I uploaded a new, usable version of the object browser to the quiz homepage. If anybody gives it a try i'd be happy to hear of suggestions.
