Alan,
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your history of Smalltalk and I laughed aloud
at your jabs at philosophers, programmers, etc.
I was fortunate to be at Carnegie Mellon in 1980. I forget exactly when we
got them, but it wasn't too long after I arrived that we acquired several
Altos for our terminal room. So I got to play with them a bit. They were
the coolest machines I had ever seen. I don't remember seeing Smalltalk on
them, but I never had a chance to use them very much.
Thanks for posting your history.
Duane
