In addition to what Kyle replied, I'd just like to point out that prefixing 
your *methods* with an underscore is a very bad idea, since Apple does reserve 
such names and a conflict will bite you at runtime possibly affecting the 
binary compatibility of your app.

IMHO, prefixing your ivars with underscore is a good idea because it's typical 
convention.  A conflict has never happened to me, and would mostly be a 
compile-time problem.  But your point about KVO is a good one!  Has anyone been 
bit by it?
