Good question. When I need more than one customer is when I'm displaying them all on an administration page. Maybe a better example class would be Products. One individual product is displayed on the product's detail page, but in the search results I'd normally be using the same Product class to display all the results which forces me to create a 'get_products()' method. > One > answer is that all customers or a group of customers will need to be > updated/edited with the same information.

Well, yes I think it does, but what I'm missing is how this new object interacts with the original one if it does at all. And what would I call it? 'Multiple_Customers'? Or.. perhaps just 'Customers'! :) Do I extend the Customer class or is it a stand alone class?
