<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">Let me cast my vote for making Jim Benson's
Zurgle the default Squeak interface.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">Why?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">-- It's a lovely modern look that won't "put
anyone off" from using Squeak.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">-- It's written in Squeak.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">-- It's skinable and extensible, as Jim's
other skins demonstrate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">I think the current Squeak-specific looks are
fun and certainly historical -- and should be kept as an option -- but let's
move into the 21st century, okay??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">Making Zurgle the default will only help this
community and spread the use of Squeak. If anyone still wants to use, say,
the "Palo Alto" look...good for them! They can and should be able
to.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">We even have Alan Kay ("Dr. Kay, Sir," as I
think of him :-) saying "one I liked by <BR>Jim Benson." so what are we waiting
for?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">I also applaud Göran's Gtk work and I hope
that he continues, and is joined by others, and gives us all yet another
option.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">But let's make Zurgle the default "look" for
the next major, and subsequent releases.</FONT></DIV>
