    This is quite understandable. The possibility alone
    at this stage is already great. 
    (Croquet is package aware, by design ;-).

    Actually, I asked just to be dead sure. 

    The first time I spent more than 4 hours on a T1 line
    to download Croquet, I thought that I would be 
    rewarded with an image of hundreds of MB's.

    Much to my pleasant surprise, the image is just 
    in the 10MB range. All the data are outside, they 
    are even on the net ;-)

    Further exploring Croquet, I found that it is 
    componentized nothing short of  "Interpreter
    isnota ObjectMemory". 

    For Croquet, it's "Picture isnota Movie" ,
    "Sound isnota Movie" .

    To watch the IntroMovie, I play 'IntroMovie.mpg' 
    with Windows MediaPlayer and 'WaveDemo.mp3' 
    with WinAmp, simultanously. :-)

    Just think of it, if we have 10 mpg's and 10 mp3's,
    we have 100 IntroMovies, and that's c_o_o_l ;-)

    Please keep up with the great work, I am looking 
    forward for the Croquet packages on SqueakMap.

    Cheers,

    PhiHo.
