OK, here's what I think: C++ has a pretty good C++ OOP system that works well 
for most cases. It probably can be optimized somewhat, but I've never tried 
it and the benefits are probably not worth it. Yes - I believe you can 
program a good OOP system in C. However, I wouldn't bother. I would just get 
C++. 

Of course, I am also known for rebuilding things from the ground up. And it 
is possible, that if I ever get fed up with the C++ OOP system, that I will 
create my own. I haven't looked at that "OOP in C" article yet, but I intend 
to. Maybe I'll use it (in C++ even! Talk about anachronism!), maybe I won't. 
So what's my point? If I was only familiar with C and NOT C++, but wanted to 
use OOP, I would learn C++... unless I'm cranky/ambitious/stubborn enough not 
to.
