I have an Apple G5 running 10.2.7. I also tend to default to Safari for web browsing.

I successfully downloaded the appropriate Squeak package at squeak.org. It unpacked successfully, and everything is in one directory.

When I tried to open Squeak on my machine, I got a black line expanding rectangle that does nothing. It looks like it is trying to start something but nothing obvious happens.

* I checked the troubleshooting page on squeak.org, and it does not appear to be anything on that page. All the files seemed to unpack correctly.

* I have tried double clicking on the Squeak image.

* I have tried dragging and dropping onto Squeak, and that did not work, either.

* I have verified that all the files are there and in one directory.

* I have verified the plugins to the best of my ability.

So, the question is, *why* can't I open Squeak? The squeak.org package said that it was Carbonized - which is to say that it should work in 10.X.

Until later--
