I have had Smalltalk/V Mac for about six months, and I think it may be the
best program I ever bought. Smalltalk is a beautiful language, clean, elegant,
powerful.  The implementation is great too, fast, stable and fun.

One thing, if you are writing production applications where extreme speed and
minimal size are important, you might be better off with Think C 4.0.  On the
other hand if you want to learn object oriented programming, or want to
prototype applications, Smalltalk is the way to go.
