Ever attempted to use multiple inheritance in C++? Things get really 
interesting when you have more than one base class, and some members 
overlap. I think the :: operator helps keep things relatively straight, 
though. There are other issues, of course, such as which copy of the 
base class is used when 2 classes share a common base class and are 
inherited by a further derived class. (Looks like a diamond on an 
inheritance diagram)

Use C# for a while, especially the newer version (3.0) It's actually 
quite nice. I've sort of grown to like it since I've started actually 
using it. C++ish syntax, some stuff borrowed from Java.
