It's unfortunate that people construed the
"It's Not a Game" article as an April Fools joke.
That was not my intention and certainly not the
case.
The article was posted "Mon, 31 Mar 2003
22:27:50 -0800 (PST)". It just happened that the
Squeak mailing list stamped the post "Tue Apr 1, 2003
6:27 am."
This was anticipated, which is why I included
the text "Original Distribution Date: March 31, 2003"
inside my digital signature block.
I am, myself, a busy person who does not believe
in wasting time, especially that of others.
Yes, Squeak really does run on the XBox.
The posting was not a hoax. The Squeak object
engine, however, was not a native XBox executable
(XBE).
Treating the "It's Not a Game" article as
yet another Squeak port does seem to miss the
intent of the original article.
The skeletal "Squeak on XBox" write-up may not
remain at the location specified in the original
article, and now appears at the following location.

The XBox hardware modifications, the type of flash
BIOS used, and other factors require me to remain anonymous,
but this doesn't negate the factual material which I
have respectfully presented to you for your enjoyment
and edification.
