I could also lend a hand on this, but I don't have a lot of spare cycles. 
Does anybody have a presentation that we could use as a starting point?

It would also help if Alan could give us some ideas on what he might like 
to see covered.  I much prefer to have a planned presentation, as some of 
the sessions can run quite long when it's ad-libbed.

Jeff - you can send me private e-mail if you're interested in discussing 
this further (dean_swan at mitel.com).  I work in Kanata, and the user's 
group meetings have been at Carleton U. lately, so we'd have to work out 
something to get together beforehand.

I have PC (WinME) and Mac (Panther) laptops that we could use for the 
presentation.

Also, I haven't moved to anything later than Squeak 3.7.  I know it's been 
popular for some time for people on squeakdev to do everything in 3.8 and 
3.9, but I don't like to deal with things like this before the releases 
are finalized.  It might be interesting though to address Ian's and Dan's 
64 bit Squeak, since as far as I know it's the first 64 bit Smalltalk.

                        -Dean

I can help with this.   I've been using Squeak off and on for several
years to learn Smalltalk.   I doubt I'd be a good speaker, but I can
at least help to demo some things.
