Earlier I posted an article asking about the various implementations of
Smalltalk on the Macintosh...Thanks to _ALL_ (there's a whole bunch) who
responded.

The basic story is that ParcPlace Systems does have _excellent_ educational
pricing...different people said $100, $125 and $150 -- all substanially less
than the $1000 list.  Unfortunately, it requires 2Mb + RAM, more than I have.
(:-()

Digitalk's Smalltalk for the Mac is supposed to be fast, run in 1 Mb, with
street price unknown, but it _is_ shipping...I'm going to look into it.
It was also mentioned that this product maybe non-standard in some ways.  I
have no more info about this, so don't ask :-).
Thanks.

Re: Apple's -- the consesnus is that v 0.4 is quite appropriate -- still
a beta product (Personal note:  it's been a beta product for a few _years_
now -- I don't know if there will ever be v1.0. end note)


Again, thanks to all who took the time to reply.
