...sounds like either an absent-minded-professor or more like someone who 
post-dates his personal checks...:-)
...anyway, i recently dis-covered Squeak and after playing with it
for the past week or so,  i feel about it like i did when i first 
dis-covered each of the following:
macpaint
macwrite
macdraw
visicalc
balance of power
hypercard
and mosaic
...now comes Squeak, which looks like it has the potential
to be the newest member of my personal software "hall-of-fame"...
...nice going, y'all...
