Well, not quite. Objects have stayed at the back of the picture at Apple, but have never quite gone away. They are doing most of their system work now in Object Pascal (with Object C, or C++, or whatever they're calling it this week, coming up on the outside). There are rumblings to the effect that their upcoming versions of the finder and it's successors will be more object-oriented. The finder currently is somewhat that way now, btw: You bump an object, and it (the finder?) looks for something that can deal with the object. It's got a long way to go, but they are thinking in that direction.
