(Ref.: PC-Week, July 22,1986, page 20.) Anybody got one ? Better yet, has anyone else read the article's attempt to explain what Smalltalk is? "Non-textual"? "All statements have an if-then corollary significance"? (I'm quoting without the article in front of me, but you get the general idea). My favorite was the description of virtual memory as being "memory which the computer thinks it has, but doesn't". I always thought that was the definition of a bus error. I think there is a new Cargo Cult of computer users, the theologians of which write for PC Week. ------ Dan Frank Q: What's the difference between an Apple MacIntosh and an Etch-A-Sketch?
