rspec users - Jan 2009 - Example on the Cucumber home page

Great work on the logo and website, Aslak & Co! It looks great, and  
and the prominent six steps to using Cucumber is exactly what newbs.

I have one question about step #2. The Given-block initialises a new  
Calculator each time it''s run. This would cause the
   "Given I have entered 50 into the calculator"
and
   "And I have entered 70 into the calculator"
steps to have different Calculator objects, right?

If that''s intentional, is it because step #6 tells you to repeat step  
#s 2-5, which will cause you to refactor the Given-block in step #2,  
resulting in a single, shared Calculator object?

Thanks for the clarification!

Spot on. Look at the examples for how it will end up.
