Now that's a blast from the past. The Atari ST (running GEM) was the computer on which I learned GUIs and event driven C programming (with the Mark Williams C compiler) when I was a kid.
I still have mine. It's sitting in front of me right now, turned off and convered with a thin layer of dust Periodically, I think about porting Squeak to it. I suspect it wouldn't run very fast, though.
