Well -  having a 56K telephone modem means over 3 hours of downloading, it
turned out. And having 64 MB memory available means that the image is very
slow on my computer. However - I like the demo and suppose it will enable a
specialist to give a fine demonstration of Squeak.

Here are some comments - and note that I tried out most of your stuff in my
3.2gamma #4823:

(1) One project concerned with Squeak's presence on many OS-s occured twice
in your image.
(2) SqOverview.Morph refuses to load: MessageNotUnderstood:
"getCurrentMorphicWorld". (The first lines say this is for Squeak 2.8alpha
#2042)
(3) ch1History.bo refuses to load: MessageNotUnderstood:
"getCurrentMorphicWorld". (The first lines say this is for Squeak 2.7alpha
#1761)
(4) The flashfile  areallycoolflash.swf DOES load and IS funny, and quite
amazing for 130  Kb.

It would be nice to be able to run SqOverview.Morph and read ch1History.bo.
If you have editions fit for the current 3.2 image please put them on your
website and let us know. The same applies to any projects including code.

Meanwhile: Thanks for your many efforts for Squeak.

Regards,

Maarten.
