Slightly off-topic: Spacewar!

Recently I was reading that old Rolling Stone article about Spacewar
(http://www.wheels.org/spacewar/stone/rolling_stone.html) and lamenting
that I was born too late. :) I was just wondering...at the end of the
article are some code snippets attributed to Alan Kay.  It looks
Smalltalk-ish...what dialect of Smalltalk is that? :) And how can
I convince my employer to build a beanbag-chair room like the one
in the picture? 

(I really enjoyed reading this article...what fabulous snapshot of a
very exciting time to be involved with computers...the ARPAnet was only
2 years old at the time of writing, and already they were talking about
internet games, and music sharing a-la Napster!)
