Better yet, has anyone else read the article's attempt to explain what
Smalltalk is? "Non-textual"? "All statements have an if-then corollary
significance"? (I'm quoting without the article in front of me, but
you get the general idea). My favorite was the description of virtual
memory as being "memory which the computer thinks it has, but doesn't".
I always thought that was the definition of a bus error.
I think there is a new Cargo Cult of computer users, the theologians
of which write for PC Week.
