What's the difference between == and isEqualTo?

Straight from the cocoa-dev list:
"isEqualTo is if you want to compare values.  "if (mystr==@"test")" will
never return true, because the pointer to mystr is different than the
pointer to @"test".  So, you'd use "if ([mystr isEqualTo:@"test")" to
compare the values.
To check to see if the two pointers are pointing to the same object, if
(sender==okButton) is both fastest and most reliable."
