	I've been hearing the word "Smalltalk" crop up in a lot of
conversations lately - mostly in reference to what was done right with
the Macintosh, or in Sci. Am. articles and in a few network articles.  I'm
trying to learn more about it, but I am struck by two strange facts:

	1) The only articles written about it (Byte Aug. 81 & the smalltalk
books) are by those people who wrote the system and one has to be a little
wary of their opinions, and

	2) There do not seem to be any commercially available systems
running smalltalk.

	Since I have only recently started looking into this, I could be all
wet.  On the other hand, I'm having a lot of trouble getting any further info
on it.  I would appreciate any pointers and/or opinions that may be out 
there.

	I can be reached on the net (bnl!drs) or by phone 516-282-4148 or
through the mails, Dave Stampf, Applied Mathematics Dept., Brookhaven Natl.
