The softsmars smalltalk-80 is indeed a REAL smalltalk-80 with
everything and full compatibility, I hear.  However, I don't know
about the price they charge for the product.  I think it's around a
thousand dollars....  If you want to just learn about smalltalk and
use it for custom applications, I think smalltalk/V is sufficient at
99 bucks (I got mine for 84 dollars form programmers connection).  On
the other hand, if you want smalltalk-80 compatibility with all
available classes, you will want to buy the softsmarts system.

How's that?
