Hello Netlanders

I am using Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 on the PC, and I am wondering if I
choose
the wrong language. I would like to know the following:

o What are the disadvantages, and advantages of Objective C
o Can you post some sample code of C++ and Objective C
o How does it compare to C
o How does it compare to C++, and C++ features like:
        - Objects, and Classes
        - Operator Overloading
        - Inheritance / Multiple Inheritance
        - Derived Classes
        - Virtual Functions
        - The this pointer
        - Etc, etc,....

Please no C++ bashing, I just want the facts. I am looking at a
Objective C
compiler for the Mac, and Unix.

Thank You Very Much.
