Jim,
Sorry, I'm only going to support a Windows version at this time. I don't own a Mac anymore. If someone had a *really* good reason for me to do the Mac side (like an interesting project of some sort), I would consider writing a Mac port. However, I'm not really inclined to do that at the present time.
Oh well, worth a try. ;)
Off topic: [GUITARS]
I usually play a 1990 White maple neck American Fender Stratocaster. However, I've been spent most of the last six months in hotels, and have been using a black Martin 00CXAE for practice. It's a wonderful travel guitar because it's made with laminated materials, which do not lend themselves to warp or finish problems inherent to conventional accoustic guitar construction. It sounds great for a relatively inexpensive instrument, especially considering its form factor (3 inch deep 00 style). Plus, it has integrated electronics. I need to write a little drum machine in Squeak so I can record some tunes when I'm on the road :-)
Ah, a guitar and a laptop, just perfect for the travelling thinker. I'm trying to buy a big ol' white Gibson Epiphone, aka George Benson style. Unfortunately, i need a new computer, so i should put my money into that. Damn computers...all i wanna do is jam.
Ali.
Jim

Outstanding!! Can we have a Mac (cake) version too (and eat it)?
throw about. I think I'll just go play my guitar instead.
BTW. What kind of guitar is it?

Hello,
There is a new revision of QuickTime playback for Squeak -- Windows
version.
This provides a couple of extra features over the last revision.
First and foremost, QuickTime is fully integrated into the Morphic environment using the new BitBlt functions with external forms. This may
be
accessed with:
QuickTimeMoviePlayer getAndOpenFromOffscreen.
This allows you to impress your friends and confuse your enemies by
rotating
your movie window morphs around on the screen.
(If maximum speed is required, the previous version is still available
using
#getAndOpen )
Second, a 'movie poster' function allows any frame of a movie to be made into an ImageMorph.
Third, a new class, QuickTimeImages, is added which allows any QuickTime supported image format to be imported into an ImageMorph.
All of this fun is available at:
http://people.we.mediaone.net/trade/quicktim.htm
under the heading 3.1 Test Pilots.
Note that this changeset requires changes up to 4081, and the new
Windows VM
located at:
ftp://st.cs.uiuc.edu/Smalltalk/Squeak/3.0/unstable-testPilot/
Enjoy,
Jim Benson
P.S.
I almost feel silly at this point actually sending code to the list. I
know
I'm supposed to add some profound thoughts about evolution, creationism, chaordic foundations or some such. However as most folks who know me
will
tell you, I don't have a thought in my head, much less profound ones to throw about. I think I'll just go play my guitar instead.
