The new page is much better. How about the following tweaks for the sake of 
newbies? That an image file is platform-independent is not obvious to 
newbies. Feel free to edit these into shape.

--------------------
You need to have an interpreter program (known as the Virtual Machine) and a 
data file (known as an Image file).

Squeak VM is an interpreter program, specific to an operating system, that 
runs Image files. It consists of an executable and one or more extentions 
(called VMplugins) that extend its functionality. A VM can interpret images 
created on other operating systems. It can even run within a web-browser!

Image file is a data file that holds all of the objects you create and use, in 
a platform-independent format. Most people start off by inheriting 
pre-configured Image files rather than create their own from scratch.
