Need more details by Mahesh On December 12, 2007
I think you should write more detais about the code in this article on how abstraction and interfaces work in your sample.

Useless by Petar On January 4, 2008
Just the code like this is ABSOLUTELY useless ! Think about real names and usages, things like myInterface and myAbstractClass are plain stupid. Please don't write another article before you read about 50 other articles writed by someone else.
