I'm a programmer/sysadmin/Linux freak who greatly enjoys working in the UNIX world. :) Long ago in the early 80's when I was still in elementary school I was watching a computer program called "Bits & Bytes". On this show was a piece where Adele Goldberg gave a demo of the Smalltalk-80 environment, on either an Alto or a Star. Needless to say, it made an impression on my young mind. Since that time, anything computer-related I encountered I would always compare to Smalltalk in my head; the obsession was born! Even without access to a Smalltalk system of any kind I still pored over the 'blue book' in my local library...

Unfortunately, due to a starving-student budget, I've never been able to afford a decent Smalltalk environment (Ok, I've got no excuse now that I'm in the working world). However, Squeak has given me the chance to do what I've been wanting to do since the early 80's...work entirely in a Smalltalk environment. Thanks guys!!
