My father-in-law says Smalltalk does have many POSITIVE points for being a
Windows development language.  He has used Smalltalk and Actor and prefers
Smalltalk to a degree.  However, I believe Smalltalk won't generate a 
standalone runtime whereas Actor does.
 
BTW- The Novemeber 1990 issue of AI EXPERT mentions that Digitalk is offering
a 60% discount to students for Smalltalk/V.  Gee I hope that includes this
new version for Windows!!!!
