<FONT FACE="Verdana">Hi Edgar<BR>
<BR>
I feel very respected that you replied in English. Thanks for that. Maybe<BR>
that's because my Spanish is so bad, and maybe its because it's so good that you<BR>
want to respond in kind? I don't know, but I think maybe it's my bad Spanish.<BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">No bad Spanish, I need practice my English.<BR>
Maybe you need me in Australia or send friends here for tour.<BR>
</FONT><BR>
Thanks for your advice. My question was more about how I can make Squeak "like<BR>
my own" ... how do I make additions? <BR>
<BR>
For example, if I have an Australian postal code, and if I have a table of<BR>
places, how do I make "3305 asAustralianPlace" return "Kangaroo Creek". Maybe<BR>
that's a silly thing to do, but some people might want that. I want to make<BR>
String (for exmple) do more than what it does now, but I don't want to break the<BR>
beautiful thing that Squeak is for other people... I want to add to it.<BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">So , what you wish is not to change tHe "original image"<BR>
You could export all your code in .cs or .pr form, not save image and reloading the next time.<BR>
But Squeak is for experimentation , and better you could save the original .zip and have so many images as you wish with different things.<BR>
You could rename them when quit and save as and have Mark.image, Australian.image, SydneyTour.image, etc.<BR>
All should be in same folder with VM and .sources whar are common to all.<BR>

Edgar, I met an Argentino the first week I came home. He is a builder, and I<BR>
needed to replace my floor. For a long time, people were telling me they could<BR>
replace my floor. Some people came to look but would not tell me how much it<BR>
would cost, some people never came when they said they would. One man said that<BR>
it would cost me $7500 Australian, but the Argentino Oscar said he could do it<BR>
for $3100 Australian. He came to do the job, and we drank mate ( I have a mate,<BR>
and I found yerba nearby my house) and we had a good charla and a laugh. The<BR>
job is now finished and I feel very happy, and now I have a friend to speak<BR>
Spanish with. <BR>

El fin de semana pasado mi hermano y su esposa estuvan aca en Sydney. Fuimos<BR>
por un paseo por Sydney Harbour. Sydney Harbour es nuestro poco del mar, muy<BR>
cerca de la ciudad, con muchas cosas para mirar y hacer. El mar no esta lejos<BR>
de la ciudad, pero hay mucha gente cada dia por Sydney Harbour. Es muy<BR>
turistico. El puente es muy famoso, unas de las cosas mas famosas de Sydney. <BR>
Estuvimos por mucho del dia viajando en el harbour. Creo que es muy bueno estar<BR>
por el agua; por los Australianos es un poco de la vida.<BR>
<BR>
Hoy habia un poco de lluvia. Un poco solamente, porque esos dias no tenemos<BR>
mucho de agua. Hay una problema aca, con el agua. No podemos poner el agua por<BR>
los jardines, por ejemplo, y no podemos lavar las coches. Y cuando queremos<BR>
ducharnos, tenemos que pensar todavia de manana. Que pena, pero eso es como el<BR>
mundo se va ahora en Australia.<BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">Aquí estamos por tener problemas con el gas y la luz. <BR>
Es peor tener malos políticos, que causaron esto.<BR>

Mate, I wonder if the project that I'm doing is of any interest to people doing<BR>
Squeak. If not, it doesn't matter, because I am learning the environment. If<BR>
you know of anyone that might be interested, please let me know. I plan to<BR>
build at least 15 SUnit tests (I have that many in Visual Works) and provide<BR>
references to the Java implementation.<BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">We (SqueakRos) wish know what are you doing, so please send mail to group squeakRos@gruposyahoo.com.ar , maybe some could join you and learn together.<BR>
For me is good to learn proessional things like SUnit<BR>
</FONT><BR>
Again, please excuse my Castellano if it's bad. I try to learn more every day,<BR>
but it's a little difficult here with so few Spanish-speaking people. Thanks<BR>
again for your English -- it's excellent.<BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">You are a terrific lier !!! I know my English sucks<BR>
