I am using Digitalk Smalltalk/V Mac, and I am very pleased with it.  While it
is not fully compatable with other smalltalks because of differences in the
supplied Classes, it is real smalltalk and a real Mac application.  In addition
it is very fast and reliable (I understand the apple smalltalk is a bit slow),
and very cheap ( < $200 ) compared to ParcPlace smalltalk.
I am not affiliated with Digitalk, except as a very satisfied user.
