This is called a singleton design pattern. You would have a static
getInstance method that returns a static instance of the class:
private static shoes myShoes;
Public shoes getInstance(){
if(myShoes == null)
myShoes = new shoes();
return myShoes;
}
There mare slightly more sophisticated examples out there just search on
singleton and the language of your choice. If you need a better example I
can dig one up just let me know but it will be in java, c++, or C# I DON"T
DO VB. LOL
