John,
A 320x240 screen is just too small for programming, in Squeak or any other language. Programming is hard enough even when you have enough screen real estate...
Forgive me, but I just can not let
this go un-rebuked. Many of us started our programming careers on machines like the venerable Apple II, which only had a 280x192 screen and a fixed pitch 40 by 24 text mode.
make that a Sinclair ZX81 with 1 kB RAM, which did not allow you to use every character on your 24x32 display P-)
Which reminds me--when are we porting Squeak to it?
