Hi,

I thought that the article was well written and from what I can tell,
factual and without distortions. It contained an short overview of the
development history and open source nature of Squeak. For more details it
referred you to a squeak website. It was a positive article with overview
fluff. This kind of article is good for advertising and promoting a
project/product like squeak. A gentle way to introduce people to squeak. A
very important task in increasing the distribution and use of Squeak is
getting press attention and press mindshare.

It would be good to get any success stories of people using Squeak in
commercial products or in commercial use published. Anyone know of any?

The comparisons with Java are almost required since, presumably, a large
part of the audience for the article knows about Java. It's not hard to be
better than Java so it's actually a compliment! 

As a side note: It's interesting that Sun choose the name of a highly
stimulating and addictive drug as the name for it's product, Java. Maybe
the successes, to date, of Java are actually a result of a coffee induced
drug state instead of any real technicial merrit? You get to drink you Java
as well as play with it on your computer! Maybe this would work for
Smalltalk as well? Anyone got any stimulating drug (legal) names that are
known by the masses that Smalltalk could take over?
