This bit is a reasonable quote. I actually said it about Smalltalk in general,
but I guess you can forgive wanting to make it more Squeak centered in  an
article about Squeak.

So is this...

but THIS is nonsense. I said no such thing.  I don't even know what IBM might
be doing with Squeak.

Aargh. Journalists!
