Hi Mayuresh, Thanks for sharing your background. My advice would be to simply download it and "suck it and see". I've got twenty years on you and have spent my whole career working with computers (punched cards anyone?). I still get a buzz out of programming in Smalltalk. The reason it is such a

Hi all.\ \ I added a 'dynamic' image to the TinyBootstrap repo. It is a tiny image containing a pre-installed code loader. This code loader allows you to load additional classes and methods and (optionally) save this in the image. Code (in the form of a class method) can be executed from the com
