Cool!  Now, can I ask a dumb question?  (I've only been working with C++
for 8 or 9 months and know next to nothing about Objective-C).

What are the main differences between C++ and Objective-C?  Could you write
the same sort of things in C++ (G++) ???  Or is it mostly a matter of
source code compatability with Next that causes you to want to write it
in Objective-C?

Thanks for answering some probably stupid questions.
