That said, though, I would agree with your basic premise. Then again, I
loved OOP almost from the moment I tried it. I just wish VB6 had done a bit
better of a job of it. Its stupid Implements command truly doesn't count
for anything in my books...it's invariably been more trouble than it's worth
in my experience.

Being able to implement an interface rather than inheriting behavior
is more important for Object Oriented programming. If you read through
Design Patterns and other books talking about the structure of object
oriented programming you will see more patterns needing to "implement
an interface" rather than "inherit a behavior".

With that being said, I rather have both but if I could only have one
then interface is the more useful.
