<br><font size=2><tt>Jeff - you can send me private e-mail if you're interested in discussing this further (dean_swan@mitel.com). I work in Kanata, and the user's group meetings have been at Carleton U. lately, so we'd have to work out something to get together beforehand.</tt></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>I have PC (WinME) and Mac (Panther) laptops that we could use for the presentation.</tt></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>Also, I haven't moved to anything later than Squeak 3.7. I know it's been popular for some time for people on squeakdev to do everything in 3.8 and 3.9, but I don't like to deal with things like this before the releases are finalized. It might be interesting though to address Ian's and Dan's 64 bit Squeak, since as far as I know it's the first 64 bit Smalltalk.</tt></font>
