Hi all, If it is true that the ONLY safe thing you can do in dealloc is release instance variables, then where else/how else are you supposed to implement a method that is guaranteed to be called upon an object's termination, so that you can do final cleanups, such as removing it as an observer or closing external resources such as files or network connections? Jerry isn't the only one who needs to do such cleanups, nor am I.
