Hi,
  In the March 8 issue of Business Week there is an article titled 
Disney's Mickey Mensa Club.  In the European Edition it's on page 50.  In 
the article Alan Kay and Squeak, among others,  are talked a bit about.  
The relevent quote is:

"Today, Kay is shooting for another software breakthrough with Squeak, a 
computer language designed specifically for lickety-split multimedia 
applications.  Squeak will power Disney's vast Web sites - especially its 
educatinoal sites, where programs rich in images and sounds will help 
children learn.  'Disney is a great place to try out new ides because 
they know so much about kids, and they have th size and resources to put 
your ideas into practice,' says Kay."

Lickety-Split - That's a technical term, right :-)

cheers
