very cool presentation. Definitely you need to add this to the new website.
Question : Why in every presentation we have to apologise why smalltalk is dead / extinct ? As a newcomer to Smalltalk I find it quite annoying. Its not as if I came to Smalltalk without knowing that is not popular. The vast majority of languages out there are so more unpopular than Smalltalk, yet they don't have this "sorry that I am dead" mentality to them.
