Hi Bert --

I was wondering if the Squeak list generally knew that language and 
compilation (and hence even classes) are object oriented. Thanks for 
pointing it out. We were at one time going to go further and just let 
an object also be a virtual address space -- this would allow real 
encapsulation on anyone else's code and state, etc.

Cheers,

Alan
