Hi Maurice
Would it be possible to see the result of what you built in Squeak? I would love to be able to say to people that some money making applications have been developed and show them some screen or a http address

As we tick down to the last few hours of the year, now is a good time to publicly acknowledge some of the great work that many in the Squeak community have been quietly doing.
Though I have been quiet for most of this past year, we here at Stono have been very busy. We are doing almost 100% our development work in Squeak. Last month we completed rev.2 of an application that we developed to do animated presentations for promotions at large scale sponsored events (e.g. at stadiums and conferences).
We would not have been able to complete our work without the help of many great Squeakers. In particular, I want to thank Bob Arning and Doug Way who did some contract work for us. Doug Way did a _fabulous_ job building the new user interface for our application. Bob Arning, as most of you know, wrote the Morphic UI tool kit on which the interface to our application is based. Bob was extremely helpful in write code in a pinch, and helping me understand various Squeak matters. I am extremely grateful for his patience.
I also want to thank Jim Benson, Bob Hartwig, and Mark Schwenk. Jim built a really cool QuickTime plug-in that we experimented with for a while. Bob and Mark have helped me out from time to time, and run the CSTUG (Chicago Smalltalk Users' Group) which has put on some great sessions. (Any of you in SqC coming to Chicago anytime soon? ;-) )
Finally, a want to thank SqC, and the entire Squeak list for providing such great technical support, thoughtful discussion, and technical comraderie.
Have a great New Year!
Sincerely,
--Maurice
