In a previous message, I incorrectly said that Apple had not released
Lisa Smalltalk because it was too slow and Mark Lentczner kindly
corrected my error.  I would just like you to know that I did not make
up that lie myself -- I read it in Byte:

		Apple implemented Smalltalk for the Lisa but never
		released it; "It's too slow," Tesler said, "and its
		syntax is too different for most people."

				Byte, Dec. 1984, p. 398

Now, I guess that quote doesn't actually say that Smalltalk wasn't released
BECAUSE it was too slow.  It only says Smalltalk wasn't released AND it was
too slow.  But I think you can see how I could make that mistake.  Sorry for
the confusion!
