I don't mind that.

Yes, I've been using function pointers for awhile, but boost::function 
does give me some extra leeway in defining callback functions inside 
classes which I very much would like to use.

If a function requires a void(*callback)() function pointer, is there 
any other way I can pass it a function declared
void FooBar::Callback() {}
without this function being a static member? That's what I was trying to 
get boost::bind and boost::function to do.

Thanks,
