I did in fact have access to it. Later, I wrote three books on Smalltalk. But at the time I was just opening the box to see what Smalltalk was about, I was too impatient to read a book. I had this experience in Basic and Pascal and figured I'd give Smalltalk my easiest "getting to know you" program as a blind test. That turned out to be a wrong-headed approach but at the time I didn't know that.
