You CAN TOO get smalltalk on a Mac !!! I've seen it and it actually
looks good (thanks Mark!) on a 1 Mb Mac with a hard disk.
Though you're right about SmallTalk needing memory -- I wouldn't want to
run it on a 512K Mac, or without a hard disk. But it IS available, and
from Apple at that. (See discussions on INFO-MAC, and the next SMUG meeting.)
