     Yep, that's what it is. Except it's even more than that. :)  Once
Cog is running too, SqueakJS makes a remote-messaging connection to it,
turning the SqueakJS/Cog pair into a distributed object memory. You can
then link up with other SqueakJS/Cog pairs on other machines.

     But yes, it starts out as a way of demoing Smalltalk apps in a web
browser, without necessarily installing anything.
