It's worth mentioning why ST/V is so popular.  Two reasons:  it's $100,
or one *tenth* of ST/80 for the same hardware; and the program is
realistic about what you can do with an AT, and went for usability
over compatibility.  If the rumor is true, low-end Mac users are
probably best off waiting for this product, both to save money and
to have a product that won't bring their hardware to its knees.

Parenthetically, the ST/V manual is a good book for first-time
Smalltalkers.
