I take this and the challenge to made Greg happy.

I have a modest house LAN with all major OS (Windows XP and Vista, OS X
Tiger and Leopard, SimplyMEPIS)
And a iPod Touch (still do not have Squeak running here, but I hope soon I
have)
Have plenty of time and energy to work.

And call Keith and Jerome to test SqueakLightII

Maybe we could find a agreement , polish rough edges and have both, a "old
image building" and a "scripting image building " ?
