Hmm... Well I'm in IBM (a rather large company, so maybe I can be forgiven
for not knowing what all my associates are doing).  And despite my strong
interest, my work with Squeak thus far "has not risen to a level" (to
borrow a common phrase of late :-) beyond tinkering.  Perhaps with the
motivation of my current project and some free time over the next couple
weeks, I can rise to a higher standard :-)  I'm looking forward to it.

Holiday greetings and happy squeaking to all,

Mike Wirth

any of you sent mail specifically to me. (I'll check the archives for
