Hi Smalltalk folks,

lately I was struck by some ad in a newsletter from that company which
developed that Smalltalk subset called Java (still hasn't
closures ...): http://de.sun.com/sunnews/events/20...203/?cid=921425

First they created this poor Smalltalk clone and now they start
misusing the Smalltalk balloon for their own advertisement purposes.
Think it's time to write a letter to Mr. McNealy ... What do you
think?

Okay, only seriously joking. But I had to say something about it ;-).

Cheers, Olli
