Hi ron What I can tell you is that I invested a lot into squeak (I’m still the guy with the largest number of books about squeak: sbe, botsinc, squeak(fr)), videos, lectures, journal articles, web site, so it was not an easy solution. But this was an important one to keep my smalltalk love and not jump into something or quit definitively. I still want a really cool system to build multimedia systems of the future and for that I dream about robust and cool (clean, lean nicely designed) infrastructure. So we will see where we go. Stef
