I have just moved Squeak to my old PowerBook 180c at home to
interface with my Garmin eTrex. Works beautifully. While I don´t need
a newer version than 2.x I still have a IIsi (17MB) lurking in the
office for testing. I think newer versions for old machines are only
useful if they bring a marked speed improvement.
