I'm new to Smalltalk. Been working in it for about a month and a half. Been
using a Tektronix 4404 which is really neat.  It is the portability of programs
across many different computers which makes Smalltalk, in my eyes, the
object-oriented language of choice. I have worked (off and on) in the
Symbolics' environment for about two years and while Flavors and Dynamic
Windows are very good, their usefulness in a heterogeneous environment, like
what we (S-Cubed) have, is limited. With Smalltalk one can develop on a 
variety of more powerful workstations and port to cheap workstations. This is 
good! I vote for keeping Smalltalk constant over all environments.

I may be wrong, but doesn't ParcPlace have a version that will run on 
Mac (SE, II) ?
