What were the GIF's made with? They have strange dithering...

A hint: add to your personal world menu the following:

aMenu add: 'capture image' target: Utilities action: #grabScreenAndSaveOnDisk

and you'll have a handy capture-rectangle-from-screen-and-save-to-disk option 
at all times.

Yes, the DTMF (as opposed to MF[1]) tones are:

         1209 1336 1477 1633

        697   1    2    3    A

        770   4    5    6    B

        852   7    8    9    C

        941   *    0    #    D

You can make these directly in Squeak.

SoundPlayer stopReverb.
AbstractSound dial: '867-5309'.

[1] The tone sets that you may find on the net that use 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 
1500, 1700 (and 2600) Hz frequencies are no longer useful.
