Good to see you back on the Mac! OS X is a joy to use: robust, elegant,
and reasonably fast. Not having weird crashes is a relief.

A friend of mine just mentioned that he was doing some x86 programming
in Dylan...I hadn't thought about in years. He said I might want to
give it another look. 

By the way, didn't you write one of the only books on Dylan?

I like Squeak, the open source version of Smalltalk. Available on
nearly every platform and with several books out on it already. Sort of
the "Linux of Smalltalk."
