The previous comments still stand.

For starters, there are a few good reasons you should still understand
non-GC memory management:

1) You may end up having to maintain someone else's reference-counted
code or develop code for a non-GC environment.  A dual-mode framework is
an example of such code.

2) There can be issues with garbage collection depending on your
application design - cf. Garbage Collection Programming Guide's
"Adopting Garbage Collection."

3) Garbage Collection does not exist (yet) in iOS.

Even if you are sure these will never apply to you (and "never say
never"), your code reveals a general need to learn the basics.
