Correct. If you have a const object, for example this in a const method, all 
mutable variables are still writable. 9 out of 10 times I use this is because 
I have a dirty flag on an object, and a getX() const method where I need to 
work on the attributes if the object is marked dirty.

Next, the three very different meanings of static? :-)

Bo.
