Your thesis, as expressly stated and reiterated, was that Smalltalk 
didn't include low lines "because it simply _couldn't_.  The fact 
that it was possible to have used Smalltalk on machines that 
"couldn't" in 1980 does not prove your point any more than the fact 
that it is equally possible to use those machines today.
