Hmm, let's see... yup, I think I might have dealt with that in the
twenty years or so I've been making a living from softare.
You're making a common mistake though. Squeak is not aimed at being a
commercial alternative. It is aimed at being a vehicle for the journey
towards an exquisite personal computing system. There are several
commercial Smalltalks already. Mind you, Squeak _is_ used commercially
in several places, where the complete openness and rapid development,
community etc is valued even more than the qualities of those commercial
versions.
