MunchMunchMunch.... Despite increasing discussion of Smalltalk in various language-oriented magazines and AI publications, I have never seen any reference to a journal of Smalltalk specifically or even object languages in general. Does such a thing exist? Does it review hardware and implementations as well as being a forum for techniques? Pointers to on-line conferences would also be welcome. On a related subject, has anyone recently published a comparison of Smalltalk development systems? I'm specifically looking for comments on the Tektronix 4400 series: it looks awfully expensive, especially compared to ParcPlace on the Mac II, but then again it *weighs* twice as much (I *hate* flimsy hardware!) and I wonder if it's more robust in other ways as well? I'm new to this group, so please excuse me if this subject was only recently beaten to death; it doesn't show up in the backlog that I can access from here. Many thanks -- Pc^2
