>Actually, I agree with you, but I'd like to play devil's advocate. What about those that say that OO is a tool just as everything else. It is to be used, but it is not an End-all, Be-all. There are some problems that don't lend themselves easily to an OO solution. In some rare occasions a PRG would actually be more effective.

This is a very old argument...it was used way back in "the old days" as a reason not to adopt the tenets of structured design and programming. When someone states that "There are some problems that don't lend themselves easily to an OO solution," my usual response is, "Name one."
