I'd like "More About Squeak..." to open a SystemReporter. Any objections?
Any votes for replacing the 'About Squeak...' pop-up with the SystemReporter (my preference)?

Well, almost. The problem is that the SystemReporter tells one about this particular Squeak and its state, not a thing about ‘Squeak’ as a whole. So if we change the menu item to read ‘about this Squeak system’ that would be consistent. ‘About Squeak’ really ought to open one of the help windows or better yet the one single help window that we really ought to have, pre-selecting a page that gives a nice oveview.

And I’l just add slack-jawed-in-amazement observation from clicking on the tinyBenchmarks line of the SystemReporter that my very ordinary iMac reports just under a BILLION bytecodes/sec and 62 freakin’million sends/sec.
I remember Eliot & I laughing uproariously when my ARM3 prototype machine hit approx 300,000 in 1988. I don’t think anybody really had a clue how much faster things could get.

Yes, typically the pop-up we have under Squeak menu is found under the Help menu in other applications, wihle Squeak-logo menu already is about systemy stuff with "Update Squeak" and saving the image. I think these two menu entries and their labels should simply be switched positions.
