Hi
the advice  of anthony is nearly true. You can always call super 
initialize in a initialize ***if*** you are inheriting from Morph 
because Morph implement initialize.

When you inherit from Object, Object does not implement initialize 
because it is inconsistent and therefore it would produce an error. So 
always check whether one of your superclass implement initialize before 
doing a super initialize.

This is months that we should come up with a proof that automatically 
calling
initialize from new does not cost too much and then is worth been 
introduced in Squeak but lack of time ;(
