I don't want to start a 'it is', 'it is not', 'it is', 'it is not', round of posts.

The blue book spells it 'Smalltalk' (I have a copy right here in front of me). That should be sufficient. A huge pile of other Smalltalk books on my shelves spell it Smalltalk.

IBM's VisualAge Smalltalk spells it with a lowercase, and so do other products whose manuals and boxes are not handy. CINCOM'S web site spells it Smalltalk (http://www.cincom.com/scripts/smalltalk.exe/home.asp).

If someone knows of an case where a product or book uniformly spells it with a cap-T, it'd be interesting to see.
