Thanks Chris --

The documentary was done by Ball State University, funded by Eli 
Lilly, and shot in High-Def. It recently won 4 Emmy's and a Cine 
Golden Eagle Award (the national award for documentaries).

Besides those you mentioned, let's not forget the original Squeakers 
who made Squeak and the etoys authoring environment: Dan Ingalls, Ted 
Kaehler, John Maloney, Andreas Raab, Michael Reuger, Scott Wallace. 
And let's not forget the wonderful "Squeak List" (that's you folks) 
who have made so many contributions to all facets of Squeak.

I'd love to have more folks on the Squeak List get interested in 
making even better and more extensive environments for children.

Cheers to all,

Alan
