Thanks Emilio for the advice.
Yeah, I can see your and Ray's point of patterns not being needed but only when a problem surfaces that merits it.
I'll need to keep this in mind as I try to learn/apply them.
Also, thanks for the book suggestion - I will have to read that book.
Does anyone have any other book suggestions?

When JUnit first came out, they published a "cookbook" on the design and implementation. It may have mutated since into something different, IMHO, the original JUnit cookbook is one of the best, most succinct examples of using and applying patterns.
