Wow!  I wouldn't have thought y'all were at Apple such a brief time. Was 
the Squeak project the start and finish of Smalltalk at Apple?

 From the license it seems as if Squeak was pre 1.0.
Is that accurate?

Yes some of it is. It mentions some dates but it wasn't clear to me when 
you started at Apple etc.

For those interested a link to "Back to the Future"
ftp://st.cs.uiuc.edu/Smalltalk/Squeak/docs/OOPSLA.Squeak.html

Also the first post to comp.lang.smalltalk dated
Date: 1996/10/01

I guess y'all were about to transition from Apple to Disney about the 
time it was posted.

Thanks for the information.
