<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ivan,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Smalltalk has been designed for all
people (only a</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> minimum</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2> of creativity is required after download</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is also for people (like me) that consider
Smalltalk</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> more than aLanguage and know that it is
not</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> limited by the image contents nor aSet of
definitions,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> so we do not need to constrain/present
smalltalk</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> to/as a language</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The number of alternatives with Smalltalk (as you
know)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> is high and growing, it defines diversity;
not fractionism.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We call</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2> ourselfves Smalltalkers and each day we are</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> learning</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2> more from our differences.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>cheers,</FONT></DIV>
