Well, my interpretation of your use of the word "dumb" let me to this
conclusion :-)

Absolutely not. I'm the first one to shout "one million flies..." when people
say that MS stuff must be good because it is sold so much. I think it'd be
cool to have Squeak on PalmOS not because of technical coolness, but because
it is such a widespread platform. Especially because it's a consumer-oriented
device.
