I remember a message thread on it but don't have my mail archive handy to search. However, you can check out the site at http://www.toontalk.com/ -- looks interesting.

I've searched my Squeak List archives (may not be quite 100% complete) back to 980919 for 'toon talk', 'toontalk', 'toon-talk' and 'Kahn' with no hits before 001126.

Any other keywords to try?

There is a message which references a paper which may be of interest:

 I briefly checked out these links, and found the content very

interesting. I also remember "ToonTalk" appearing on this mailing list a while back.

I searched all three archives mentioned on http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/775

and I couldn't find anything more than a couple days old. The egroups archive seems only searchable for the last 6 months. And the http://squeak.cs.uiuc.edu/mail/squeak/ archive seems to only go back to August. http://macos.tuwien.ac.at:9009/Server.home says it keeps messages 400 days but I couldn't find anything more than 2 days old.

Any idea when the discussion happened?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
