http://www.slashdot.org/ just had a mention of us (about a mention of us).
Check it out:

    Jim Thompson writes "Today's edition of Project
    Heresy at CNET News covers a very interesting new
    (?) project called Squeak by, of all people, The
    Disney Co. This project, targetted at embedded
    devices, has a Smalltalk heritage and is based, to
    some extent, on code from Apple. Apple required that
    Disney not commercialize their product, so Disney has released it as Open
    Source. Squeak is not itself an OS, but the Heretics speculate that Squeak
    will soon be married to a scaled-down linux kernel an ported to all
sorts of
    handheld devices. Squeak sounds reasonably cool in that it's based on
    Smalltalk-80 and has what sounds like a built-in "skins" feature for
its UI.
    Do any Slashdotters have more info on Squeak, on where to go for
    more information? "

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said but,
I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
