Hi Kevin!
I had an idea like this 'bout a year ago. Carl Gundel & I were playing
around with Morphs & projects/worlds for the first time and we got to
talking about externalizing Squeak apps. I envisioned this as putting the
morph in a space suit... Of course, the suit would probably have to be
invisible...
Cool!
Cheers,
