Being a member of the Smalltalk group at Apple, I was very pleased
to see the review of our current release of Smalltalk for the Macintosh.
I need to correct two things with the review however.

    1) The release is not called "MacSmalltalk" and is not a product.
	This may sound nit-picky, but it is important to us.  The system
	is known as "The Smalltalk-80 Programming System for the Macintosh"
	and is available as an unsported release (we do have an e-mail
	address for answering questions, but seeing as it is staffed only
	by us, the development group of four people, we can't always get
	to everything).

    2) The reviewer only had a 512k machine and hence only used level 0
	of the release.  Level 1, which requires 1 Meg or more, is the
	full Xerox Version 1 plus many extras added by us.  Level 1 has
	nearly all the features of Xerox Version 2 and is not, in our
	opinion, "less sophisticated than Version 2" as the reviewer states.

Also, the reviewer didn't say how to order it.  If you want an order form
send a request to:

    Smalltalk Request
    c/o Lyn Teermer
    Apple Computer, Inc.
    20525 Bandley Drive, MS:3T
    Cupertino, CA, 95014

She will send you an order form and some additional information.  The prices
are $50 for the system and $150 for an institution license ($50 for an
educational institution).
