I've already been through a lot of this. What -seems- like it should be
relatively easy is apparently very difficult, like creating an image from
scratch or getting some one to help do it so I can learn. Nobody seems to
want to take the time. I'm still interested in using Squeak for Robotics,
but it isn't anywhere near usable for that yet - not enough access to low
level hardware for embedded system use.

I can handle complexity. It's the simple things that confound me.
